Troubleshooting
Pattern pieces do not align correctly
Double-check that you have cut out the correct pattern pieces and that they are oriented according to the grainline instructions. Ensure fabric was not stretched during cutting.
Stitches are uneven or skipping
Check your sewing machine's needle and thread. Ensure the needle is the correct type and size for your fabric, and that the thread is properly wound and tensioned.
Finished toy looks misshapen
Verify that you followed the seam allowance guidelines accurately and that the fabric was not distorted during sewing. Ensure even stuffing for a balanced shape.
Difficulty sewing small details
Use a finer needle and consider using tweezers to guide small pieces. Slow down your sewing speed and ensure good lighting.
