HI. I have been reading that acrylics and copic markers are a good way to shade fabric but I was wondering if I could use watercolours? I cant afford to buy markers or acrylics paint currently and water colours are all I have at hand. I have a teddy bear pattern that instructs to tea bags to stain the bear but I'm not sure how I feel about that as I need more control over the colour.

I would say yes, it matters. Using tweed, you don’t have any fur to hide sewing issues, but still—have you tried using smaller stitches? I wonder if that would make a difference.

I have made the stitches smaller and it does seem to have helped, thanks.
Hi. I’m new to sewing and bear making. I intend to use thread that matches the fabric but I was wondering if it matters if the stitches are visible in the seams. I stuff my bears really tightly and I’m not sure how to prevent this from happening or if it’s even possible to. I’m using tweed fabric.
Do I need to adjust the tension on my sewing machine or something?
Thanks for your help.
