Posts: 112Hi everyone,
I am now on to my third bear which I am making up from a kit. I have found that the footpad seems to be much too large for the foot. What is the best way to trim the footpad so that it will be a better fit. Should I trim 1mm ( at a time) around the whole perimeter of the footpad and test then try another 1mm or should I try to adjust the shape of the footpad. Thanks, Jan 
Little Leaf Bears by ShannaIf it were me, I would take a string and stretch it across the length of the foot twice, then try and form that length onto the footpad to see about how much extra you will need to trim. There might be an easier way to do this, but this is how I design my footpads to be the right size.
good luck
Shanna
