To sew on arms <v legs...

PIease notę: If you are using a fuzzy thread or yarn... use strong cotton thread or f loss to "joint" your bears arms. Jegs and head. Use thread wax on the threads that joint his body for added durability. Don't forget to use your pliers to help puli the needle through body parts.

Starting with arms... use left over arm and leg threads... running them through the body., .outside the other limb and back to the beginning limb. Here is the process step by step.

1.. . The threads used to sew on arms run through body... between rounds 4 & 5 (see photo 22) and out the other side of his body (also between rounds 4 A 5) and through the same round of the next arm (see photo 23). Make surę arms look even and toenails are pointing in the right direction.

2.. . Puli arm thread snug... making surę arms are tight against his body but arms will still move up and down. Fasten arm thread securely with a stitch (I make a french knot but it's not necessary).

3.. . Continue with running that same thread back through the same holes and rounds you just did...back to his beginning arm (see photo 24). Please notę: It’s important to make surę your threads run through the same body and arm holes as before so limbs will be moveable.

4.. . Puli thread snug again and fasten securely as you did on the f irst arm.

5.. . After securing your thread... run it back through same arm into body (through the same holes) and out the back of his body (see photo 25). Leave thread for now.

To sew on legs...repeat steps 1-5. Run threads between rounds 12 & 13 of his body (See photos 26 & 27). Make surę his legs are even with his arms before securing your thread. Also... make surę and puli his legs in tight like the arms.
