Disaster stuck today urgghhh!!
Its first time I made a white bear!!
I used gel pen.. red or blue to outline the pattern onto the fabric. Thats what I do.. and I sew on that outline..
when I turn them over to start stuffing.. blue line can be seen urrrrrrggghhhhh!!!! (dont happen with other colour.. only this one because its white)
I dont know how you do.. but what do you do about white bears?? I prefer to sew on the line as its easier for me and my eyes!!!
what can I use instead help!!!
hehe, depends on what you are doing. I crochet most of my mini bears with alot of different types of thread, but I don't think that's what you meant by this question. For thread jointing I use upholstery thread. For crocheting the bear itself I usually use punch needle thread, perle thread, tatting thread, lace weight yarns, etc. For attaching eyes again I use upholstery thread. For facial expressions I use embroidery threads.
Hope this is what you were looking for.
/miniteddyhugs,
which upholstery threads you use??
I use embroisdery thread (DMC) for noses...
I think felt or micro plush it nice.
Moss loses the colour with the time.
Felt?? I have green one.. but they're "flat"
I am in progress of making bear fairies..
I am thinking about jamjar (to stop bear flying away! 
)
I have google.. most doll fairies use moss as a base.. I worry about the moss.. wont they ruin th fabric of the bears??
what should I use as base?
I got here a dark brown miniature bear... done the eyes...
no nose yet..
I was thinking.. black will be too dark..
have anyone made a bear with pink nose? on brown bear....
I will need a smile.. will black be too dark.. what do you use instead???
Last time I used eBay to sell some stuff from the house.. they charge me load!! They quoted me this.. I paid for them via paypal.. That was fine.... then later on (1 month later) they invoice me for more money.. thats why I stay away from eBay for selling..
In fact I looked through eBay for some bears.. I found no handmade artist bears on for sale
