Tips for Sewing a Silly Cuddle® Monster Pillow

  • Spray baste Cuddle® Dimple to batting before cutting circles to give stability to applique.
  • Use basting spray to hold pieces in place before appliquéing, then use a straight stitch, zig zag or blanket stitch.
  • Sew blue strip to mouth with a 3/8” seam allowance to make it easier to catch back side when top stitching.
  • Teresa used a 1.6mm length and 3mm width for the blanket stitch for the applique and a 3.5mm straight stitch for everything else.
  • Be aware of the nap when cutting and laying out pieces.
