Sue Do you know what density the felt you use is? I've been gogling for engineering felt suppliers nearer here, and they all seem to stock a range of different densities as well as different thicknesses.
I reckon the density will be fairly important for lacemaking use - too dense and fine pins won't go into it without bending, too lightweight and it won't support the pins well enough. I've spotted one UK supplier whose website proclaims "no order too small" so if I can work out what density I need I'll enquire about their prices.
