Troubleshooting

Thread is breaking during stitching.

Ensure you are using the correct needle size for the thread. Try using a slightly shorter length of thread. Check that the thread is not tangled or knotted.

Felt pieces are difficult to cut cleanly.

Ensure you are using sharp scissors specifically designed for fabric or craft use. Use a cutting mat if available for a stable surface.

The lavender scent is not strong enough.

Gently squeeze the lavender sachet inside the house to release more fragrance. For a stronger scent, consider adding a few drops of lavender essential oil (not included) to the stuffing, but test on a small area first.

The finished house is not holding its shape.

Ensure that the stuffing is evenly distributed and packed firmly enough within the house. Check that all seams have been sewn securely.
