FabricLA Acrylic Felt Fabric by the Yard - Soft 72 in Wide 1.6mm

In this review the FabricLA Acrylic Felt Fabric is evaluated as a versatile, soft felt sold by the yard for crafters and small upholstery projects. The main reason to buy is its combination of wide 72 in width and a substantial 1.6mm thickness that makes it easy to cut, glue, and work with without fraying. The review finds it particularly useful for sewing, tabletop conversions, costume work, and decorative crafts where a soft but sturdy felt is required.

Key Features

• Sold by individual units: Each quantity arrives as a separate precut piece so orders of multiple yards come in discrete pieces that are simple to handle and store.
• 100% acrylic fibers: The acrylic construction produces a soft, pliable fabric that resists unraveling and is easy to glue or sew for craft projects.
• Generous width: At 72 in wide the felt covers large surfaces without seams, which is useful for table covers, backdrops, or larger craft panels.
• Substantial thickness: The 1.6mm thickness and 160 gms/sq. yd. feel provide cushioning and durability for padding, poker tables, and upholstery trims.
• Precut continuous length: Precut continuous yardage is convenient for predictable project planning and can be ordered in multiple yard lengths.
• Easy to manipulate: The material cuts cleanly and conforms to small ridges, which helps for costume details and trim work.

Who It's For

The FabricLA acrylic felt is aimed at hobby sewists, crafters, teachers, and DIYers who need a soft, wide felt that does not easily fray and is simple to cut and glue. It is especially suitable for those building tabletop game surfaces, sewing decorative pillows, or creating costume pieces that require a stable yet flexible fabric.

People who need industrial-grade upholstery felt or a natural fiber material should look elsewhere; this product is acrylic and tailored for crafting and light home projects rather than heavy-duty professional upholstery or outdoor use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft and pliable acrylic construction makes cutting and gluing straightforward for varied craft projects.
• Large 72 in width reduces the need for seams on wide surfaces like tables and backdrops.
• Noticeable thickness and density give a cushioned feel that works well for gaming tables and padding.
• Precut yards sold as individual pieces simplify storage and project organization.

Cons

• The acrylic composition means it is not a natural fiber and may not suit projects that require natural fabric properties.
• Precut lengths are fixed, so those needing very long continuous runs should contact the seller rather than rely on standard sizes.

Specifications
