Has anyone used this for blocking knitted items?

Yes, I have. I did however place some inexpensive non woven interfacing (a tablecloth would do) to make sure the colors did not bleed onto my finished item. They worked just fine. I did see no signs of bleeding but better safe than sorry.

I used the material for scrunchies . So both ends were closed but as far as I can tell it didn't fray . While sewing

I used a steamer to block acrylic squares. The color of the blocks did not bleed through. My next project is an ecru colored cotton doily. I will be using the wet blocking method. I will let you know how it turns out.

Hi M.K, I've only used the product directly to lino's clothes and it works properly. Sorry

I have! I love the stuff! I have a favorite beaded glasses holder which broke. I removed a couple of beads and glued the thread and beads together over a year ago and I wear it daily!

You could use it to keep the two parts of fabric closed for a temporary solution. But you probably couldn't fit the stitches through the button's holes for a lasting solution. The stitches are very short.

Yes, in comparison to the round plastic ones this is fairly small. It's funny, I am wearing a pair of socks right now that I made on my loom. I know opinions and experiences wary, but I love it. It does come with a dvd which I think is very helpful. There are also videos on youtube, just type in "knitting loom". Hope this helps.

Have two sweaters in each opening and there are no problems. If you have a bulky item only put one item per opening. I have three of these. Hope this helps.

I have found this to work pretty well on furniture, not so well on clothes. Mostly I use it to remove cat fur from our couch and chair, and it does a pretty good job with that. I have not found it to be effective for normal lint on clothes. I don't have any wool coats to test on, so sorry I can't be more specific.

It definitely removes material, but it won't damage any parts that are still woven in. I guess it's just a toss up for you personally of continuing to make the knitted fabric thinner vs tolerating pills on the surface. I tend to go with remove the pills.

Yes. I have used numerous times on cashmere both flat knits as well as ribs and cables.

I have a couple of thicker scarves hung in mine. The only difference is that I like to fold my scarves before putting them in the loop for easy access when I want to pull them out. With the thicker scarves, you may not be able to do that, although I have with my yarn ones - I just squish them in. This thing has been great for organizing my scarves and I even put a few belts on the lower loops.

They do get holes in them, but so far I have only used 4 out of the 8 and have blocked at least 30 items (mostly doilies) with those 4 and they have plenty of uses left. They are not even close to being 'harmed' enough to compromise the mats. I do use sewing pins or map pins on them and not the fatter "T" pins, but I doubt they would hurt the mats either. The undersides of the mats could also be used if needed as I seldom push the pins through. I figure these will last a very long time.

Felt - it's a neat idea - I'm sure if one were creative, you can make your own - not so fancy - pot protectors for a couple of $!! ) or maybe you can make it fancy!! )

This is the primary reason I buy it. Works on knits of all kinds very well. Better to commercially dry clean any item that needs to be pressed (i.e. slacks). Just remember to hang the items as soon as they finish.

I used it on a metal clothesline encased in plastic - this holder rips through the plastic casing then slides on the metal. Your best bet is using a rope clothesline and just tie knots IMO.

I have never used it for that, I used on towels and fleece.I don't LOVE it on fleece but you can embroidery on it and not see the stabilizer on back of blankets.
