Hi every one can any one tell me is this a good idea to use faux suede for foot pads and hand pads instead of felt, is it just a matter of taste or is there a reason most patterns call for felt. I don’t like the idea of real suede from an ethical stand but I wanted something a little more special than felt, any ideas will be gratefully accepted

I use ultra suede all the time as I prefer the look.  I think it is up to you what you want to use, there is no hard and fast rule.

Thank you so much for taking time to reply can I ask is ultra suede the same as faux suede and is it easy to hand so with

I think ultra suede is better quality than faux suede but not entirely sure.  I find it very easy to work with.

I pretty much use ultra suede for all my bears and sometimes I will make the arms without a paw pad and use the actual fur for the foot pads as well.  I will then add needle felted toes and paw pads.  Just gives it a different look
