[@nicoleaalley2934]

I think your embroidery eyes give the turtle that extra cuteness. I prefer them . Thank you for teaching us how

Thank you Linda!

[@Pocketsnuggies]

These are awesome!! Could you please make a magic ring tutorial WITHOUT leaving a cone! That would be awesome! It’s so annoying!! Thanks for considering it. I know it’s basic. And maybe one for attaching body parts!! 🙏🏼 Your loveys are AMAZING!!

[@thecozybuckeye]

Those are great ideas. Thank you so much for your support!

Yes, please show them all to us!!! I have such a hard time with this ... I made a ball out of scrap just to practice eyes on, and it's hilarious looking, hahah.. Thabk you again for sharing

[@thecozybuckeye]

I hope the video helps. I did put out a second one. Have you seen it? I want to do a third video soon. Thank you so much for your comment and for your support. Have a great day!

[@Raffyshooknook]

Hey there, here in the UK we have rigorous testing that we have to do on all our soft toys to ensure they meet UK standards. I'm going through that process atm, and it's sad when we put so much love into a product to then destroy it. I loved your first embroidered eye post so I'm looking forward to watching this one 😊

[@thecozybuckeye]

That is an unfortunate process. I can't even imagine. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@Raffyshooknook]

@thecozybuckeye it's crazy! We have to do tension tests on 9.2kg weights to test the eyes, seams and stitches and do a flammability test if we have an unhindered area of 150mm or more...among other tests. We need to gather specific safety certificates for all products that we use that are accessible (yarn, cotton, eyes ect) but a lot of company's either don't test them before selling them, or won't allow us access to them. I've just started this profile and I'm taking my leap with my first proper post on Friday. I've watched all your videos and learned a lot from you! Thank you 😊

[@thecozybuckeye]

@@Raffyshooknook I’ll be in the lookout!

I did embroidered eyes on a cat 3 x before I was happy with them. Takes practice but I love them. ❤

I embroider eyes on some plushies for small children but not as nice as yours. So I want to practice your method so my eyes look beautiful too!

[@thecozybuckeye]

Thank you so much! You will get there. Practice makes perfect!

[@Wawawesttx]

Sweetest eyes ❤ some designers unfortunately do not have the vision 😢 where the eyes are bonkers 😅

[@thecozybuckeye]

@@Wawawesttx Thank you! I guess practice makes perfect.

[@Gabiimade]

You have one of the best embroidered eyes I've seen. Mine are good but yours's are the best. That turtle looks just too cute

[@thecozybuckeye]

Thank you so much!!

[@lab3789]

Pretty, thanks so much.

[@thecozybuckeye]

You’re welcome 😊

[@cheridefries4980]

Awesome tutorial! And the way you do the sparkle is genius! 💡😊 What do you do for small items that call for 6-8mm eyes? I have trouble with the safety eyes pushing through. Do you have different eye expressions and one for a boy? Thank you, April for sharing your talent with us! 🩷👀🩷👀

[@thecozybuckeye]

When I have small plushies I will use worsted weight yarn and I don't always add the sparkle. I use the same method though as using Bernat blanket yarn. I will work on a few other expressions to share. Thank you for the idea!

[@craftlover9702]

Very generous of you to share this, she looks adorable! You have now inspired me to start embroidering eyes. I would love to see tutorials on elephant eyes, dragon eyes and mermaids! Thanks again, you are a very good instructor!

[@thecozybuckeye]

Thank you so much for the ideas!! I appreciate you watching and your comment.

[@bethferguson705]

This is a great tutorial, April.🩷 Very helpful. I would love to see sleepy eyes & dragon eyes.

[@thecozybuckeye]

Thank you so much! Great ideas!

[@kellidixon4386]

Love this! You make it look so easy😅. To go with this series, a tutorial on how to sew on body parts could be a great addition. I know that i do my best, but honestly I kinda wing it! You are so talented!

[@thecozybuckeye]

I would love to; I just need to come up with a pattern of my own to share that. I don't know about using someone else's to explain sewing parts. I'll think about that. Maybe I can get the creator to sign off on it first. I'll work on it. Thank you for the idea.

[@chelenapavlova1562]

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! I really enjoyed your Bee eyes tutorial too. I would love to see a series. It makes such a difference in how the finished toys look, and I feel better knowing that is is child-safe.

She is so adorable and I really love her belly being variegated 😍 I love all the little details you add to your items! I would love help with eyes on loveys! I made a cow and the eyes I cannot get right. It looks possessed 😂😅

Thank you👍 I'm working on a big octopus for my niese, the eyes are supposed to be 3 cm each, and I'm struggling to find the right size online. So my wish would be a tutorial on octopus eyes🤗

Hi I love doing the embroidered eyes so glad your doing these turncoat I love new ideas. I noticed you did the Minnie mama made Minnie elephant and I have the book but I am having trouble with tying the legs. I would love it if you had a tutorial on how to tie the legs or how do you make the legs do you do a different anyway help

[@thecozybuckeye]

I could maybe add it in a vlog or something, but I would hate to step on MMM toes. I love their work. It is an awkward step to making the loveys.

[@joanndavis1824]

I would like to see the eyes done on the elephant you showed. Thanks for the tutorial

[@thecozybuckeye]

Great Idea!! Thank you!

[@jackiet8568]

Love the tutorial! I can’t remember what is different between this one and the ones for the Bee. Lol. I will have to go back and rewatch it. Question not related to the tutorial… where did you get your Apple Watch band? I love it!!!

[@thecozybuckeye]

Thank you so much! The bee is done before it's stuffed and the turtle was stuffed. Also, I did Eyelashes on the turtle. My watch band is from TJ Maxx. Much love to you. Thank you for your support!

[@LeeAnnahsCreations]

24:41 - one could embroider a mouth using a slightly curved, upside down V - like most turtles do.

[@thecozybuckeye]

That's a great idea!! Thank you!

[@LeeAnnahsCreations]

@@thecozybuckeye My pleasure

[@maja2675]

Hi. I embroidered the very first eyes ever on my turtle based on your tutorial and she looks soooo cute!!! Thank you for sharing. I also made an octopus with bobble stitches for the eyes but now i don't know how to embroider details on the bobble. Everything i try looks funny :) Any suggestions? :)

[@thecozybuckeye]

You could try putting the embroidery in the bobble.

[@chelsey2357]

Super cute! Just wondering, have you ever tried making plushies with velvet yarn? I love how soft it is but it seems there's a 50/50 chance someone doesn't like how it looks worked up in the tight stitches needed for amigurumi 😢

[@thecozybuckeye]

I have not. I do have a few skeins of it so maybe I'll try it. I will say I do like my plushies to be big, and they would work up small.

[@elizabethsweeney9555]

Can you show how to add colour please IV done those eyes awesome.

[@thecozybuckeye]

Great idea! Thank you so much for your comment and your support!

[@dianecollins3255]

Can you please tell me what turtle pattern you used. Love your eyes. I can make the eyes but having a hard time getting them even

[@thecozybuckeye]

I used the Crochet by Genna min strawberry turtle pattern. I bought it on Etsy, but I think she shows it on her KZbin channel.

I’m doing something wrong with my elephant loveys feet. The white popcorn stitches -I’m leaving white yarn spots kinda beside the she white toe part mixed in grey. It’s not major-just coupke spots but it drives me nuts-csn you tell me what I’m doing wrong? Or do a vid or something . It’s from the Same MMMinis pattern book

[@thecozybuckeye]

It's probably how you are doing your color changes. Maybe I will show it in a video coming up.
