Hi Leanne, The splitting thickness of threads really depends on you and the tension you want. There are 2 types of sinew on Gerry's teddy and craft designs website the artificial can easily be split if it is easier for you and the supreme which I use can be split but I find it to be a good thickness for what I do. If it hurts your fingers which does to mine also, cut a double length so you can wrap it around your whole hand and pull, it takes a lot of pressure off the fingers, just be careful not to pull too hard as it can break your eye!! I hope that helps you! it does get easier with each bear you make and you will find a way that suits you.
Hi Fairybear, Everyone will have a different way of inserting eyes for the indentation look you are trying to achieve. My question to you is what thread do you use? I use waxed supreme sinew, this is fantastic in pulling the eyes into the head giving it a firm indented look and you can do this yourself easily as the thread does not slip when tying the knot! also you can sculpt the eye socket also with waxed thread before placing the eye which will also give you the indentation. I hope this helps you! Sarah.
