Minimizing Wool Felt Shrinkage: Stick and Stitch Embroidery

Today we’re taking the guesswork out of wool-blend felt shrinkage for hand embroidery. Join me for a crafty experiment to see how much this blended felt shrinks in water. I’m preparing for an upcoming bookmark embroidery workshop, where we’ll be using water soluble sticker templates. These templates dissolve in water, so the goal of this experiment is to minimize shrinkage for my workshop students. Tune in to see the results!
