I am concerned that when felting narrow strips the needle punches off the material being felted and leaves holes. Is there any way to avoid this. I thing this detracts from the overall design. Have not done too much but wanted to see what everyone thinks about this before I start a large project.

Thanks

What fabric are you using for your base?? By the nature of the technique, there will be holes but usually if you keep on felting they get muted.
