Read MoreLena, thank you for this coursework; Your knowledge and efforts are greatly appreciated. I like the way your instruction is broken down into key steps and can easily be applied to other felting fibers. My felting fiber of choice is Huacaya Alpaca; My goto embellishment fiber is 2nd cut Mohair; I also use Viscose and Bamboo fibers, artist yarns, commercial fabrics and margilan silk segments. The processes you present in your material are easily transferable to the fibers I choose. Granted I need to create my samples and define my co-efficient of increase for the templates, but to your classwork, everyone should do this prior to a new project; Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experiences.

Read MoreLena's classes are easy to follow with very clear instruction, demonstration and explanation. She will give you tips that you won't find anywhere else and you will come away having made a beautiful felted item. I highly recommend this class if you want to make some lovely cushions, and the technique can also be applied to hats and neckwarmers that I am not able to stop making!
