South AustraliaHi All,
I have just unpicked my nose twice ( sorry, bad joke ) I did a vertical nose on a bear, undid it, tried again, undid it again the tried a horizontal nose..... Worked first time.
For some reason I am better at horizontal noses than vertical ones, maybe it's something to do with the "bump" on the nose but I find the horizontal nose much easier.
Does this make sense to anyone? Am I weird or just plain lucky????? Lol
Chaska, Minnesotasheree: Go with whatever works best for you. That is what makes each bear unique and individual. What is important is to have a firmly stuffed nose. that is the key. some people make polymer clay noses which adds a new and darling look to the bear.
Nothing wrong with a horizontal nose! :dance:
Either way, nose embroidery requires a lot of practice and a good base layer of stitches, in my opinion.
Looking forward to seeing the bear!

Sometimes I glue a piece of felt the size I want the nose to be then if I want a vertical nose the first layer I put on is hoirzontal then the virtical.
TC Folk OriginalsI love the vertical embroidery noses! I do the same thing as Lenora! A little practice is all it takes! Then you wont have to pick your nose (another bad joke!)
