Heat press felt?

[ART DISCO]

Hi,

I was wondering if thick felt which can be heat pressed exists?

I know there is heat press flock but I'm after something much thicker. I want to make some varsity style patches to apply to jackets and it would be much better for me if I could find something that doesn't fray so I don't need to overlock the edges and is heat pressable so I don't need to sew them on.

Any suggestions would be great because this is an area I have to experience in as I normally just screen print

many thanks in advance,

Lucy

Although this is not felt, when pressed it expands. I think the ammount it rises can be determined by the time you press it for.

That stuff looks cool but I don't think it's quite right ...

I'd like to be able to screen print an image onto the felt before heat pressing it to the jacket (to create a mock embroidered look patch)
Basically, I'm hoping there is a thick white felt like material out there which can be bonded to garments via heat press.

I'm not sure if there's something Bagde/patch makers use as a backing that might work? Any ideas?

if it lettering you want several companies now offer individual varsity style letters that you heat press on, very nice quality

Not sure if this is suitable for heat press but it is 100% Polyester and great for badges.

It's the badge felt I'm on about not the embroidery thread, don't know why it did the thread link.
