- Wrap nylon thread tightly several times and break thread. There is no need to cut the thread.
- Stuff a big ball of stuffing into the body at one time, do not stuff in small amounts repeatedly.
- After stuffed, use a needle to move stuffing in place within the body.
- When making doll’s bum, ensure the needle goes through the stuffing to make bum look full.
- Make sure the knot under nose is glued into the face to hide it.
- After you stitch eyes and mouth, tie the thread at the back of neck and pull slightly (eye and mouth will appear slightly sunken into face). Hide the thread end inside the body.
- Do not position facial features too high. Ensure you leave a bit more forehead for hat.
- Keep ears lower than eyes, but somewhat forward on head for better positioning of the hat.
- Pull the bangs longer but not past eyebrows. Apply a bit of glue along the edge of hat to secure it then pull the trim edge of bangs to form waves.
- When stitching arms into body, make sure they are sunken into the body and do not show the knots by pulling tightly on thread.
- Don’t stitch ring directly on the top of the head only. The thread should start from the bottom of the neck and make sure the thread goes back and forth through the head as support.
- Once completed, use needle to move stuffing to make buttocks and cheeks more plump and make body shape more beautiful.
