Sue, can you describe what engineering felt looks like? I use something called gasket paper for making my prickings - and I'm wondering if that's what you're talking about. My stuff looks like a fairly strong brown cardboard, but it is impregnated with oil, which means it doesn't have small fibres flaking off like cardboard. It's very strong, flexible, but doesn't tear extremely easily, so it makes a very strong pricking.
It was the comment about being used in a car engine which makes me wonder!
