Troubleshooting

Thread tangles easily

Use a manageable length of embroidery thread (about 18 inches) to prevent tangling. Keep threads organized when not in use.

Stitching appears uneven

Practice your stitches on a scrap piece of felt or refer to the included stitch guide. Ensure consistent tension on the thread.

Difficulty with appliqué placement

Refer to the full-scale templates for accurate placement. Baste or pin the appliqué pieces before stitching them in place.

Toy filling becomes clumpy

Stuff the birds gradually and evenly. Use a blunt tool like a chopstick to help distribute the filling into smaller areas.
