| So...what is Angelina
and how is it used??? There are endless possibilities! I know it is
beautiful and very soft and very glitzy! Angelina is very versatile
and fun to work with. Angelina can be layered in between fabric and
organza to make great appliqué fabric. It is also used very
successfully into felting so has great potential when using the Embellisher
by Baby Lock or a felting foot.
Then there is the Angelina Contest that was held. Clear
HERE to view the entries. |
| The fiber has a super soft
handle, much like cashmere, but has been produced in such a way that even
just a little added to another fiber mix will result in a sparkling effect.
Angelina can be spun, woven, layered, trapped, bonded, etc. Some of
the colors are "Hot Fix" and bond to themselves at a low temperature.
Those colors that are heat bondable are noted with an asterisk (*) below.
Because Angelina is polyester, they are washable...I suggest hand
washing...and they dry very quickly. One other caution, do not iron the
fibers after originally bonding them. It is not recommended to iron
the bondable Angelina when laundering. The fibers that are not
bondable or "Hot Fix" can be ironed. See the question and
answer section below... |
| As I create items and as
customers send me pictures of what they have done with this new fiber, I
will post pictures and hopefully an explanation of procedures. In the
mean time...The new Crystal Embroidery Designs from Penny Muncaster-Jewell
have Turquoise Angelina included in the package and directions on how she
created the beautiful designs are seen by clicking
HERE. There are other Crystal Embroidery
designs now created using the Angelina and can also be viewed through

| Hi Dawn...I am curious about the
Angelina --Is it one long strand or is it like cotton or polyfil? It looks
really fun! |
It is called a 4 inch staple. Which means that
it is in strands 4 inches long but can be cut to any size you want. It is
much like the finest angel hair you have ever seen at Christmas time. You
know...like the stuff you put on the tree.
|
| How much comes in a pack?
|
It is packed in a 3" x 4" Bag.
It is a lot! I admit that I don't weigh the bags...but you will be
amazed at how far it stretches! |
|
The Angelina intrigues me...could it be used for freestanding lace? |
Yes, Angelina can be used in free standing lace as
evidenced in the 3-D Life Crystal Embroidery Design Sets that are available.
You have to use one of the Hot Fix type and create a sheet of non woven
fabric...or use two layers of organza to sandwich the ones
that are not heat bondable. The heat bondable ones can be combined to
create your own color fabric. You just have to play with it to see all
the effects you can get! |
