Hi Molly,
I haven't used felt pads, someone else may have had used them. I've only seen them used as the bearing members of mirror cells holding the mirror.
I got my Teflon via phone order from a mob called 'Cut to Size Plastics'. I found them through the net. As I just got the strip I wanted, and cut and machined myself the stuff, it was way, way cheaper than getting it done by them or anyone else.
One more point on the felt pads, see what size scope they are being used on. Reason being that the effectiveness of any bearing material is a balance between the weight of the components, materials used, angular separation, and the such. A heavy scope responds different than a light one for the same materials used.
