Thanks so much for the info,  I think I will wait on it,  The Mohair surface
is so wonderful, But I don't want to be struggling..... I would just lose interest
real fast.  A Bargain is Not a Bargain if I wont be able to really use it.
thanks for the help

Thanks so much for your help.... I am going to wait, use the little I have, I would rather
spend on mohair that I can really use & Not struggle.
thanks for your help

I posted a question in the tips & technique section,  I think maybe I posted wrong area...
My dilemma is,  I purchased a small amount of UPHOSTERY MOHAIR,  Not the Mini Bear fabric type,
this is Mohair that is between 1/8 & 1/4" pile, Dense, Very Nice, but it has a heavier cotton backing(not the stuff like in Intercal & Edinburgh Mohairs).
I am comtemplating purchasing a larger pc. of this fabric,  But since I am away from my sewing machine,
I am Not sure how well it will sew & turn.    I was hoping that someone would have some insite on this question.
Is this Only good for Upholstery? or can it be used for Teddy Bear Making.

Thanks

I just thought of something,  This is NOT the Mini Bear type Upholstery Mohair,  it is longer than
1/8" but not quite 1/4"  I have never seen this before.... that is why I am in such a Dilemma.... thanks for any Help

I just came across some beautiful looking UPHOLSTERY MOHAIR,  the mohair is Dense,  Short Straight Pile, which I love,  it looks & feels wonderful,  but I won;t be able to be at my machine for another week to test it
{backing is thicker cotton then edinburgh mohair}  I have a chance to purchase another LARGE pc.  which I can dye to make other colors,  but I need to know if it is Easy to Sew to Make Teddies?????   if anyone has any input, I would surely appreciate!
thanks
cheryl
