Hello, I've been reading up on bear making and am constantly ever evolving and learning as I go along. I've read you can stuff your entire bear's head with wood wool or some even, stuff their entire bear with it. I'm always doubting myself when using wood wool for stuffing as I'm never certain that what I'm doing is correct.
Do you stuff your bear's heads with wood wool or a combination of different stuffing mediums? Have you ever stuffed an entire bear with wood wool? Any advice that you can give regarding using wood wool would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Kind regards,

Hello, I see this is an older post and a very helpful one at that. I still wasn't clear as I am wishing to enlarge a teddy bear pattern I have and it just seemed that the light bulb was coming on for me even with all the information here. So upon further searching I came across this and found it to be very helpful, so I thought I would bring the link here just in case someone like me :o/ visits this thread looking for add'l info'.
Thank you all for your help! :o)
Kind regards,

Hello, I see this post is several years old but I am currently dealing with a mohair backing that is fraying. I've read about overcast stitching or zig zag stitching each piece of the bear to stop the fraying, using Fray Check and now I've come upon this post and am wanting to know more about this technique. I've never worked with Solvy Water Soluble Stabilizer before and am curious to know how big of a piece of stabilizer do you use with how much water? Also, what is the consistency, is it similar to Fray Check or thicker? Thank you in advance!
Kind regards,
tj
