How Do You Select Threads For Soft Toy Making?
• Have strong thread. Strong thread will be needed for attaching limbs, heads, and for closing holes after stuffing the soft toy. The waxed variety of buttonhole thread is ideal for this purpose. • Have interesting threads for embroidering faces etc. on the soft toys. There are many suitable threads, ranging from embroidery floss, wool, and strands of silk. Be imaginative and use up bits and pieces that you have ferreted away for some time. Use matching colour thread for seams. The thread used for seams should match the colour of the soft toy’s fabric. The seams show once the toy is stuffed, so the closest possible colour match is important. Where matching proves difficult, select a slightly lighter shade of thread.
