Troubleshooting
Fabric pieces don't match up when sewing
Ensure you have accurately traced and cut all pattern pieces. Double-check that you are using the correct pieces for the corresponding seams as indicated in the instructions. Verify fabric grainlines were followed correctly during cutting.
Stuffed animal is lumpy or unevenly filled
Use a stuffing tool or the eraser end of a pencil to push stuffing into small areas and corners. Add stuffing gradually, distributing it evenly. Avoid overstuffing, which can distort the shape.
Sewing machine is skipping stitches
Check that your needle is the correct type and size for your fabric and is inserted properly. Ensure your thread is not tangled and that the bobbin is wound correctly. Clean your machine's feed dogs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To begin, you will need to purchase fabric, thread, stuffing, and any desired embellishments (like buttons for eyes or embroidery floss for noses). Carefully cut out the paper pattern pieces. Trace these pieces onto your chosen fabric according to the pattern's instructions, paying attention to grainlines and any directional prints. Cut out the fabric pieces accurately.
Compatibility: This pattern is compatible with a wide range of common sewing fabrics, including cottons, flannels, fleece, and felt. It is designed for standard sewing machines but can also be hand-sewn. The finished size is approximately 9 inches.
Care: The paper pattern itself should be stored flat in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent damage and wear. Once the plush animals are sewn, they can typically be spot cleaned or hand washed gently, depending on the fabric used. Refer to fabric care instructions for best results.
