For the best results, when stitching a Felted Dog from myfeltpet's blog

For the best results, when stitching a Felted Dog, use a cotton sewing machine. Do not use a machine with a large needlepoint wheel because the small teeth will poke through the fabric and you will lose your stitches. Also, the teeth on a large needlepoint wheel may cover up the felting process and result in an uneven finish. A fabric with a small looped eye is ideal because it will hold the yarn in place while you stitch. The small looped eye can be made with a craft needle or with a pin. This will allow you to secure the eye firmly on the fabric.

If you are stitching a felted dog, be sure that your needlepoint design is solid. Otherwise, the eye will show up in the design. To make a solid design, pick a solid color such as brown or black. Then, use a coordinating colored thread to create a felted design. Using a double-pointed needle, start stitching and do not pass the needle through the fabric until all of the felted yarn threads have been attached.

For a smooth finish, turn your needle back so that it is face down. Then, take a fabric piece of approximately the same size as the original felted dog design and wrap it around three times, securing the end of the cloth with a craft glue gun or embroidery needles. Stitch the second half of the design from the front and then stitch the first half of the design from the back. Always work in a smooth flowing stitch so that the final felted design looks beautiful.Custom Needle Felted Pet

You will probably not want to create your own felted purse because they are so difficult to make. However, many people enjoy felted fabrics and accessories for their pet. A knitted shawl would be perfect for your cat. You could also create an all over felted blanket to keep him warm at night. Just keep in mind that you will need an ample supply of wool or other stuffing. When your pet returns home, he will simply take his familiar place in your hand.

For an even easier project, choose to make an extra large felted bag instead of a purse. This is also an easy project to take on with your child. Simply find the same kind of yarn or wool that you would to make the dog's bag and use a larger needlepoint hoop to create a ring. Sew the edges of the ring together.

Once you have finished this simple needlepoint project, use the same yarn or wool to make a second purse. Do not just make a regular purse but make an extra-large one that is three feet long by three feet wide. This is also a great project to use when you have more than one small pet at home. This will allow you to keep all of their items handy. It is also a nice way to teach your children about needlepoint.
