Integrated into the machine is a small compartment in which the accessories can be easily stored. The power of the machine is 40 Watt. Unfortunately, there is no cover or protective cover, but the machine has a practical carrying handle.

Which functions are offered?
Those who are not yet so familiar with a felting machine may think that new fabric can be worked with the Simplicity Deluxe Felting Machine, but that is not the case. In contrast to classic felting, the felting machine is used to apply beautiful colourful accessories to an already finished piece of fabric. The base of felt, denim or even delicate organza is basically always decorated in a new and different way. As with all felting machines, the Simplicity Deluxe Felting Machine works without yarn, but with twelve needles.
In this machine the special needles, which have a small barb at the end, are arranged in a circle. They pierce through the wool into the underlying fabric up to 1,000 times per minute. In this way, the wool threads interlock with the underlying fabric and the sewn-on accessories sit firmly and securely. The arrangement of the needles in a circle makes it possible to sew very precisely in circular movements. However, it is not necessarily necessary to sew with twelve needles. If desired, some needles can be removed, so that for example another beautiful pattern is created. Soft merino wool but also fairy tale wool are especially suitable when working with the Simplicity Deluxe Felting Machine, but also thick fabrics like denim and also very delicate fabrics like organza can be decorated with pretty appliqués.
How is the handling?
All those who haven’t had too much practice in using a felting machine yet will get along with the Simplicity Deluxe Felting Machine very quickly and above all, we think, if we look at the reviews on Amazon like this. The foot pedal makes it possible to adjust the speed of the sewing process at will. If you don’t have any experience with a felting machine, you can set the speed to be correspondingly slower. The carrying handle makes the machine safe and easy to transport and maybe even take it on trips.
