- 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.
One of the most important principles in business success is mapping out what is possible.When we let things settle and we explore the brilliance and opportunities that are around us, changes take place.
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
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.
Hi,
I am using a Babylock felting machine. How ever I have tried all of them out that are currently on the market and they all have good qualities. Some I find the needles more spaced apart, but they still do a good job. The Baby lock is however a powerhouse and it takes me half the time.
Your reply is very much appreciated. Thanks much Isabella!!
His Susan, you can get needles at the dealer ship. You might want to ask if they have various sizes. It makes a difference when working on heavier material such as denim.
Have a nice Christmas
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.
look is very beautiful art
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.
Hi, I use COPIC markers for my shading techniques. If you can't get them use "Touch" they are almost the same.
Happy coloring!!!
Hi Kirsten, I use COPIC markers.
could you add in your info about this video what machine you use and what kind of pen? thanks much
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.
thank you for the tip.
Hi, there are many reasons the felting needles can breake. Felting needles are not sized like sewing machine but rather like wire. For more information on how to avoid breaking felting needles please send me an e-mail bearlycollectibles@hotmail.com so I can give you as many tips to avoid breaking those expensive needles. Unfortunatly this little box here does not allow me to post it all. I will be very happy to help you with this Isabella
How true
I need a professional sturdy electric needle for large sculptures - the addi quick I bought lasted one day. Any suggestions?
where do I get needles for my baby lock?
Danke
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.
Can anyone give me the name of this felting machine?
what kind of pen? are you using....
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.
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
