Troubleshooting
Difficulty threading the needle
Moisten the end of the thread to make it easier to pass through the needle's eye. Use a needle threader if available.
Stuffing is uneven
Use the needle or a similar tool to distribute the stuffing evenly inside the felt shapes.
Loose stitches
Ensure the thread is pulled tight after each stitch. If the stitches are still loose, try using a slightly shorter stitch length.
