Cuddly Toy & Plush Heart Pillow

What I have learned:

• Techniques:
  • Working with plush fabrics and batting
  • Using the roller foot for sewing
  • Sewing the blind stitch by hand
  • Practice choosing the right needle (microtex 70/10) and foot (the roller foot).
• Reflections:
  • The importance of choosing and using the right tools.
    • To avoid damaging the plush fabric, it is recommended to use a jersey or microtex needle. The needle number should be higher for thicker fabrics.
    • Using a roller foot can make sewing plush fabrics easier, but it can still be done with the standard foot.
  • I ended up using a simpler construction and capitalization of the name. Sometimes, my imagination cannot be fully translated due to limitations in knowledge, skills, tools, or time. It's okay to adjust the plan to make things easier, as long as the purpose is still achieved :)
  • A small gesture can bring happiness to others, and I hope the good intentions and positive energy I put into these projects will be transferred to the recipients.
  • I have a deep appreciation for professionally made fabric items with perfect stitches and construction ;)
