Finishing and Assembly Tips

• Stuff firmly but evenly to keep the fox s shape consistent. Use small amounts of stuffing and add gradually.
• Use stitch markers to keep track of rounds, especially when joining legs to body.
• When sewing pieces together, use the long yarn tails left from fastening to make hidden, secure seams. A long sewing needle helps to pass through dense stuffing and fabric.
• If using safety eyes, insert them before closing the muzzle and secure with the appropriate washers; alternatively sew on eyes for younger children.
• Weave in and hide all ends neatly on the inside of the toy for a clean finish.
