Переглядів 128 тис.14 років тому
A brief, but by no means definitive, overview of Isabella Hoffmann's new technique for creating astonishing works of art and multi-layered, life-like images, using a felting machine. No threading needles, no fumbling with pinned-down pattern pieces, just layer your wool pieces, and in minutes you can create incredible art with tremendous textures and beautifully blended color.
Lovvely projects!
What a noise. Not for me i like the quite and slowness of it.
Love these ideas where did you get your machine please leave a link.
Thanks a lot for sharing. Is needle is normal or special needle?
. 💎 🤺💐
Just what I’m looking for I want to purchase a needle felting machine could you guide me to the best one to go for I’m looking for the electric gun tool
How often do you sevice the machine pls? What does that cost each time? Does it harbour a lot of fluff? thanks
Tendrá que comprar una máquina de EE. UU. Y enviarla a su país. Puedes encontrarlos en E-bay www.babylock.com/machines/sewing/embellisher o esto www.ebay.com/c/1030932960 El envío puede costarle tal vez $ 100 o más. Espero que esto haya ayudado. Estoy traduciendo esto en google, no hablo español.
Maravilhoso ...onde posso comprar uma máquina dessa ???? Aqui no Brasil é impossível de encontrar ....
No tiene que comprar la máquina, solo el pié de agujas para felting, Y poner en su maquina de costura
Dónde puedo comprar el pie de Máquina por favor? En Colombia?
Wishing all a healthy, happy New Year and much success.
I am just finding out about felting using my husqvarna Viking topaz and love your video this gives me ideas for using scrap material to design on denim jackets.

Felted machine with 8 needles at work! ua-cam.com/video/hwVjBhEBSFU/v-deo.html
The device rolls with 4 needles, and the speed is up to 7000 injections www.etsy.com/listing/760281894/electrofelting-machine-with-4-needles
My favorite is the Babylock Embellisher 7needle or 12. You can probably find them on sale for $100 on e bay or Greg's list. It will cost you on shipping maybe. I like the Babylock best because the needles are closer together. Janomie's needles are further apart and they usually come with a large felting needle size. A good size is 40. Ask your local dealer ship if they carry smaller felting needle sizes. It creates a smoother effect and less danger of creating a hole. If you buy from a dealer ask to try out the mashine. Hope this helped.😀
Help. is the Janome 725 with 5 needles a good felting machine ? I really want to get a felting machine. I only see that one on line does Pfaff make one? I want a really good felting machine. Please someone respond today. 😊
I want to buy a felting machine. What machine do you recommend. Brand and model please.
I need a professional sturdy electric needle for large sculptures - the addi quick I bought lasted one day. Any suggestions?
Hi Paula, thank you for your message. There will still come some videos. I needed a break as we had family health issues to deal with.
I wish you would have continued making videos. I really enjoyed them all.
sorry a bit confused when reading the 12-7 needle conversion - did you mean you can turn the 7 needle into a 12 needle ?? and vise versa ??
Hi Janet, my grandma and grandpa last name and Mom's maiden name was Gunning too :).
The Brother CoverStitch Machine also does felting. You get much more machine for your money.
Thank you. A good tutorial
Oh I love this!! Thank you for sharing this! Did I miss where you mentioned what type of fabric that is felted onto?
Как здорово!
спасибо
Thank you, the books are available also on my website. Have you machine felted already?
NEVER PURCHASE SIMPLICITY 12-NEEDLE FELTING MACHINE! MINE HAS LESS THAN 2 HOURS RUN TIME AND NOW IT WON'T WORK. SIMPLICITY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT! CAN FIND NO ONE TO WORK ON IT!
I am sorry to hear this, what about the dealer ship where you bought the machine from?
Isabella Hoffmann thank you for your reply. I bought it at joanns but right after that I got sick. was unable to use it until 3 years later. I thought certainly Simplicity would help, but sadly they just said, "sorry."
Bring the machine to a local sewing machine dealer ship, such as Baby lock and see if they are willing to take a look at it. It might be something very simple. I believe that Simplicity is also under Baby lock. Not quite sure how ever, or also call several baby lock dealer ships that are in your area. It might cost you to have it checked out but it would be well worth it. Jo Ann, does really no after sale support.
Thank you, Isabella, I shall try that.
I was introduced to the Baby Lock Embelisher 7 unit. They no longer make the 7 unit, but only the 12 unit Embelisher. But here is the kicker. You can find those machines on e-bay for maybe 100-200 dollars. Also you can ask the sewing machine dealer ship to order you a plate for the 7 unit and a 7 unit needle holder and you can turn the 12 unit in a 7 unit machine. All they did is created a needle holder unit that holds more needles and changed the plate on the bottom. I needed to replace my lights and I started to look closer and discovered I can interchange it. Another good place to get needles is : Terry Weber 585-993-0509 Bethany Arts. She carries various sizes and styles of felting needles including for the felting machines. Hope this has helped, let me know if you have any other questions. I am hoping to make another video later on this year.
Thank you, that was really helpful. Isabella, could you please tell me what make your felting machine is? It seems an awful lot more efficient and quieter than my Simplicity.
Thank you Rebecca, this book has a lot of fun projects and some larger ones. But with each one are some new challenges. Of course I will send you the free video if you order from my online shop :www.isabellahoffmann.com/Store_New.html I will be happy to hear from you as you create your projects.
i have an janome and it is breaking the needles.. cost me a fortune what can be the matter
Excellent video, so helpful. I am going to order your new book right away. Since I already have two of your books and some patterns, I know the instructions in this book will be easy to follow.
Danke
Danke, Danke, ich werde mir dieses "Buch"morgen sofort bestellen. Werde mich bei Ihnen melden. Noch einmal danke
Warum nur sind solch lehrreichen Videos nicht mit einem deutschen Untertitel versehen. Ihr Winterbild ist wunderschön. Ich hätte Ihre Ausführungen sehr gerne verstanden aber, aber. Welches Trägermaterial benutzen Sie? Benutzen Sie für die Schneemänner und den Zaun etc. " Filz". Kann ich in Deutschland das von Ihnen Vorgestellte Skript kaufen. Wenn bei welchem Verlag? Oder kann ich es online beziehen. Danke für diese sehr sehr schöne Anleitung
Hallo Annelie, dieses Video ist zu dem Buch "Kreative Wollbilder mit der Filzmachiene. Das Buch wurde in Deutsch übersetzt und kann man im Amazon kaufen. ISBN-13: 978-1489578839 ISBN-10: 1489578838 Für dieses Project benutzte ich gewobene und Filzwolle. Man kann auch nur Filz benutzen. Der Hintergrund ist gewobene Wollmaterial und wurde mit hellem grau gefärbt. Ich kann eine Kit ( alle Materiale) zusammen stellen und es Ihnen senden. Auch habe ich Skype und habe auch schon Unterricht via Skype gemacht. Hätten sie Interesse an einen Unterricht oder auch ein Kit , senden Sie mir doch bitte eine e-mail an bearlycollectibles@hotmail.com. Liebe Grüsse Isabella
Warum haben so wunderbar erklärende Videos keinen deutschen Untertitel? Schade, sehr schade ich hätte gerne Ihre Erklärungen verstanden. Ist das von Ihnen vorgestellte Buch in deutscher Sprache erhältlich.
Hallo Annelie, vielen Dank für die ich habe ein Buch auf Deutsch und man kann es im Deutschen Amazon kaufen. Sie können mir auch skypen und wir können uns dann über Maschienen Filzen unterhalten. Da ich leider nicht die Umgangssprache damals hatte fúr Maschienen Filzen machte ich keinen Untertitle auf Deutsch. Das Deutsche Buch heist "Kreative Wollbilder mit der Filzmaschine" ISBN-13 978-1489578839 ISBN-10: 1489578838. Sie können mir gerne auch eine e-mail sendend zu bearlycollectibles@hotmail.com. Liebe Grüsse Isabella
I thought this video was going to be about snow removal
Are you using perfelted material? If so where are you buying and can you use the machine and loose wool to create pieces? and what side are you using as the show piece the side with the template or the result side?
Hello Lorri, it is always best to pre felt the material, just in case you want to wash your artwork later on, to prevent shrinking. For sure you can use loose wool also known as roving. It takes a little bit more time. Roving (loose wool) can be felted right under the felting machine and one can create a new background or use these pieces to cut out the pattern shapes. You can use what ever side you like best. Sometimes I flip the front and backside to place my pattern pieces, depending on what look I want. For an example if I felt a bunny I will machine felt the body from the back and the leaves etc. from the front of the background. This gives me the fuzzy look of a bunny and the firmer look of the leaves. Simply have fun.
My books, DVD and patterns, Willow Nook Machine Needle Felting/ Timeless Collection and Willow Nook Machine Needle Felting/ Wool Images are available through my online shop www.isabellahoffmann.com or the direct link: www.isabellahoffmann.com/Store_New.html A third book is hopefully coming out this fall in 2015. Keep checking back. If you have any questions please send me an e-mail bearlycollectibles@hotmail.com
I use wool felts, or woven wool such as coats, jackets or hand dyed wool. Wool works best because of the fibers. The leaves in this video are wool felt and recycled wool fabric.
What type of materials (cloths) can be used or not for shading or mix felting? I Wonder which materials is the green and orange you've used in this video Isabella Hoffmann
You can't use leather on a felting machine. But one can use wool fabric and machine felt it to denim, cotton and flannel,However stay on the wool when machine felting or the needles will shred the fabric. One needs something fibrous for the needles to have something to work with. I used wool fabrics, such as old coats or good equability felts.
This is an amazing idea and you don't even have to use material glue anymore.
That's correct, by lightly tacking it with the felting needles, one can remove it and place the pattern section somewhere else. Once it is however machine felted in place it is impossible to move it.
look is very beautiful art
Hi Debbie, this is a 7 Unit Embellisher Babylock. They no longer make this machine, but they are available on the website. Baby lock now makes a 12 Unit Embellisher felting machine. Those too can be found on the website or you local Baby lock Dealer ships.
Can anyone give me the name of this felting machine?
Hi, I use COPIC markers for my shading techniques. If you can't get them use "Touch" they are almost the same. Happy coloring!!!
How true
Your reply is very much appreciated. Thanks much Isabella!!
Hi Kirsten, I use COPIC markers.
and other fabrics. When you break a lot of needles it will tell you either do not have enough speed or you move the fabric or fiber to fast under the plunching needles. Fast speed, slow movement on the top and tight circular motions will give you the best result.
I use the 7 unit Baby lock and also their 12 unit Embellisher. All machines work well, however I know of one were the foot petal stick when you lift your foot of the petal. Baby locks needles are closer together. Janomee's needles are more apart. But they do have various sizes of needles. You can get hand felting needles and cut of the top and place them into the felting machine. You would have to try it out. Various sizes is nice to have when working on different types of weight on wool, denim
You can also use the brand name "Touch". They are not refillable but have the same ink. Make sure you get the blender. The blender can eat, drag the color out and also change the hue. Besides it can eat the color like an eraser. Sharpy can also be used but you do need a blender and you need to heat set the ink. There are few tricks to get the ink out. I think I will make a you tube for it. Do you have skype? I do skype classes as well.
