Hi I mostly get my synthetic fur and other piles from Stephanie at Sassy Fabrics. But I want to do a black/white panda or a black/cream panda 4 1/2" - 5" can anyone help?

Hi Mandie,

A couple of weeks ago I received 10 wonderful synthetic fur samples from
http://www.imstuffedfur.com/

Their prices are good and they have a very large selection of both short and long pile fur to choose from.  bear_original You can email Beverly and tell her what you are looking for and she will send you samples. They have much more than what you can see on the website.

Happy fur-hunting  bear_tongue  bear_grin

Try these guys: they sell Tissavel and their other brand faux is lovely too: when I ordered a few swatches they sent me loads!

Hi Chloe, it all looks a tad long for miniture bears, I will phone them today to ask the lengths I am only looking for 10mm which is a short pile. But thank you for giving me the link. Hugs Mandie

Their moleskin is about that length i think, Mandie bear_original It's ever so dense though, so prepare to have to do a lot of trimming and using extra strong thread! I think it would be worth it, my sample pieces were ever so silky...

I found some long pile fur for minis here:

It doesn't look long pile to me - but I don't make minis so maybe it will look long pile on a small bear.

Hi Chloe  bear_original

I just had a look at the fauxthrow-site...WOW....great looking fabrics. Have you tried ordering fur from them (except the swatches I mean)? I looked at their FAQ-site and it seems they don't cut fatquarters. You would have to order a lap/knee-size piece (1 x 1.5 meter) to have enough for a medium sized bear as far as I can see. Do you know if they cut fatquarters?

Does the fur have much stretch?

The fur looks so soft and silky...I think I have to order some swatches  bear_grin

Thanks for posting the link  bear_thumb
