If you recall a few months ago I did a product review on the Simplicity's 12 Needle Deluxe Felting machine. Well, this time I'm back with a mini handheld version! This is the one to have if you are someone who doesn't have a big crafting area or the storage space for more machines. It's just small enough but still comfortable to hold and has 6 barbed needles-- as much as some of the bigger felting machines on the market today.
As usual our very generous friends at Simplicity.com have provided me with one machine and a block of felting foam to give one of you lucky readers/viewers. Watch the video review to find out what I like and don't like about the machine and for all the details on how you can enter for your chance to win one of your own.

ReplyDeleteThis looks like it would be a wonderful item to have for my fiber addiction. It seems to be easier than hand felting and would allow me to do more projects.

ReplyDeleteFladmail - I teach a fiber arts camp in the summer for 4H (we are on year 5) and we have been leary of felting due to the needles and small fingers - this solves it!! Would love to have the machine and able to teach felting next year.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have taken some felting classes. We have made felted pictures (landscapes). This tool will make it much easier to make the pictures with. The backgrounds take forever by hand! Thanks for the chance on winning! Paula I am also a Gemini
ReplyDeleteoh I would love to have one of these to play with! I can only imagine the fun things I could make with it....:)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool. I have always wanted to try this but am afraid of puncturing my fingers. I can think of so many things that I would try to do. Thanks for the chance to win this neat little machine.
ReplyDeleteLove it!! Now I know what I want for my birthday. By then I should have my very own work space. Yeah!! I can move out of the kitchen. Thanks for offering the chance!!
ReplyDeleteI love Simplicity! They are always coming out with great ideas to help the crafter be more efficient. This looks like a sweet little machine. I do have several hand felting needles and have dabbled a bit. Having this neat little machine would make it so much easier to do little embellishments for my projects. I love working with wool, especially penny rugs and mats. Thank you for an opportunity to win this! Be especially blessed, Kathy
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this machine. Looks like a lot of fun to play with. Would love to win one.
