pre felts are bits of semi felted felt. It's felted enough to hold together but not so far along the process that you can't add them into other pieces. If you want a very clean line of a shape, say a star or a big circle pre-felts are the thang.

Duno about IFA but I assume it's something like International Feltmakers Association.

Hi Stacy, I laid the fibres and wet the out one afternoon, felted the next morning and then finished off and steam pressed in the evening so I probably took about 8 hours in all but that is a rough estimate as I have yet to time myself properly Laughing

Hi Natalie, Prefelts are peices of felt that are half felted (untill the fibres are holding together) you can cut and apply them onto another peice of felt, layer them, cut into strips and weave etc.
I am a member of the IFA, they have regions all over and the meetings are great also the workshops. www.feltmakers.com[/url]
