Astrup BearsHi.
When I sew stitches for claws I feel its a bit unsecure, how do you fasten the thread on a secure way ?
If its a thick mohair is not a probem to hide the knot, but if its sparse or very short pile ?
desertmountainbearI make a knot. Insert needle up by the elbow of the bear. Exit where I want the first stitch to start. Give a tug and sink the knot under the fabric and into the stuffing,

Astrup BearsHi Joanne.
Thanks, but how do you then end/stop it ? Same way out too ?
Past Time BearsLisa, there is a topic in our library called "Paws - Claws - Toes". You might find some help there, also.
desertmountainbearHi Joanne.

The same way out. I go back and forth through the arm, going in the same hole that the needle came out so that the floss is inside the bear not seen on the outside.
