Mrs Perkins' horns and other small parts can be tricky to turn and I often hear of people having piles of frayed horns after attempting again and again to turn the little fiddly pieces. I actually find it quite easy to turn the horns with just the use of a wooden skewer, but this has come with practice and re-use. This trick that I am about to show you is fool proof and so quick, some of you will give big sighs of relief, I am sure! Firstly, the sewing foundations need to be right to get the desired result. With all small and fiddly bits you would be sewing on the traced line as this gives you much greater control as you work with a larger piece of fabric. We recommend that you always use a small stitch of 1 - 1.5 when sewing any parts that are to be stuffed. It is also a big help to always use polyester thread for softies due to the added strength. Cotton thread will break easily and may not be able to handle the strain of firm stuffing. |
