Cuddle® Basics1. Mark measurements or trace

around template pieces on reverse side of Cuddle® with a felt tip marker or ballpoint pen.

2. Cut with a rotary cutter, craft knife, or scissors.

3. Shake cut pieces or put in a no-heat dryer with a damp washcloth for a few minutes to remove loose fibers.

4. Sew with polyester thread in the top and the bobbin.

5. Reduce presser foot pressure when sewing multiple layers.

6. Use a stitch length of 2.5–3 mm.

7. Double pin by using 2 rows of pins—the first row every 1½" along the seam line and a second row 1" to the left and parallel to the cut edge.

8. Backstitch at the beginning and end of each seam.

9. Seam allowances are ½" unless otherwise noted.

10. Use an even-feed or walking foot, if possible. It makes a difference!

Finishing1. Turn the pillow right side out.2. Stuff as desired. Note: Take care to get the stuffing

into the arms and the top of the head. Use a chopstick or point turner to help position the polyfill.

3. Pin the turning gap closed. Hand sew with a ladder stitch.

Ladder Stitch: Use polyester thread and a hand sewing needle to catch one side of the opening, then the other. Tighten every few stitches.

DIRECTIONS Read Cuddle® Basics before beginning.Seams are 1/4", unless noted.
