Design notes
Wool felt is incredibly resilient and retains it's unique properties for decades. It is wear resistant, cuts with a smooth edge that does not fray. The colors are vibrant and non toxic. To determine the optimum engraving depth for your design, we suggest prototyping or purchasing a sample of this material from out sample store.
Please note that as a natural material, felt has a strong burnt smell after laser cutting. The edge scorches and turns brown which is more noticeable on the lighter colors. For tips on how to clean felt and remove the smell, check out this blog post
Large amounts of raster engraving are not recommended. Heavy engraving is recommended as the light engraving does not show up over the surface texture.

Tips from other designers
It's important to note before ordering a design on felt that it will arrive with a burnt ash look on the edges of the cuts, and as mentioned above, a burnt smell. The main reccomendations from Ponoko users to remove these is dry cleaning (either professional or with tumble dryer dry clean sheets) and leaving it to air out.
