Sewing the Muzzle
Place the muzzle just beneath row 13 in the middle, pin it to the head
and add a little bit more fiberfill if needed. sew in place, fasten with a knot
and hide yarn tail inside the head.
A. Insert the needle in a hole between stitches some distance away from where you will embroider the nose.
B. Bring the needle to the starting point at the center just above row 4 for the embroidering, pull it through and leave a long tail.
2. Make a vertical stitch along 5 stitches at the center line. draw the thread tight.
3. Insert the needle horizontal along 6 stitches to form the nose and draw the thread tight.
4. Start embroidering the nose horizontal until the nose is big enough.
5. Insert the needle and bring it out at the same hole between stitches where you insert the starting thread and pull it through.
6. Knot the two ends together twice.
7. Reinsert the two threads into the needle and then insert the needle into the same hole where both ends emerge and
bring it out in a different point on the head, pull it through and cut them off.
Connecting the Legs and Arms to the Body
In this basic methods I explain how to make joints limbs connected to each other through the body with a yarn and
remain still movable.
Legs
Place the legs to the sides of the body and mark with a pin where the legs will be attached to the body.
place the pin just beneath row 40.
Arms
Place the arms to the sides of the body and mark with a pin where the arms will be attached to the body.
place the pin just beneath row 26 and make sure that the hand bulge is facing the front.
This example is for Legs and
Arms
1. After you mark with a pin where the limbs will be attached
to the body , cut a long yarn (same yarn you used for the
body) long enough to go from one side to the other side of
the body.
2. Insert the needle where you mark with a pin and pass the
needle through the body from one side to the other side
where is the second mark pin. squash the body so it will be
more easy for you to push the needle all the way through
leaving a long yarn tail on the first side.
3. Make a small stitch on inside of one limb bring the needle
at the point where the joint will be.
4. Pass the needle back through the body so the needle
reappears again close to the starting yarn.
5. Make a small stitch at the inside of the second limb and
make sure that the height is the same as the stitch on the first
limb.
If you want to make a stronger joint, repeat the entire process
again.
6.The two yarn tails ends should be close together.
pull tight to attach firmly the limbs into the side of the body
and tie the two ends together 3 times.
7. Reinsert the 2 yarn tails into the needle and then insert the
needle into the body and bring it out in a different point on
the body, pull it through and cut the yarn tails off.
If you did it right, the limbs will stay in the position you set
them without falling down. If you didn’t attach firmly, the limbs
will fall down when you release them.
To fix it you can stitch through the joints again more tightly
and cut the old yarn off or leaving it in place.
