Troubleshooting

Child struggling with a specific stitch

Refer back to the step-by-step guide and demonstrate the stitch slowly. Consider practicing the stitch on scrap fabric first.

Not enough stuffing for a project

Ensure stuffing is used sparingly and evenly distributed within the sewn item. If critically short, consider using a small amount of clean cotton wool as a substitute.

Fabric pieces not aligning correctly

Double-check that the correct pieces are being used for the specific project and that they are oriented as shown in the guide. Pinning pieces together before sewing can help alignment.

Thread tangling during sewing

Ensure the thread is not too long and is being pulled smoothly through the fabric. Check that the needle eye is clear and the thread is not frayed.
