The felt double-layer sewing technique is one of my tips on how to work with felt. In my experience, sewing two equal pieces of felt together may be challenging as they tend to move under the foot slightly. This technique is way easier. I have been happy to learn it from my friend and now pass it onto you.

Where could you use double-layer pieces?

• to increase the durability of your creation

• to hide sewing thread when attaching hooks

• when sewing puppets and finger puppets

• when attaching VELCRO to your craft 

• and more.

HOW TO SEW TWO PIECES OF FELT TOGETHER:

1. Cut out the shape from felt. (Check my post 6 techniques on how to cut out felt)

2. Place the cut-out piece on a 2nd a bit bigger piece of felt (can be the same color or different).

3. Sew around the upper piece, close to the edges.

4. Cut the 2nd felt piece to match the front one. Caution: Ensure that the scissor blades face the felt edge horizontally to avoid cutting the thread. I have managed to cut the thread using the scissors at a wrong angle. 

5. Your double-layer piece is ready to be used.
