Reply here with any questions RELATED TO THIS TUTORIAL PART! And I may answer them in the next Final Cut episode! (Unrelated questions will be deleted)

[@yukithecat2900]

What kind of razor do you recommend for shaving the fur..? And how much would a proper one be?

[@shardthedragon9534]

You already answered this in the premiere for me, but it might be worth having in the video for others: I've struggled to find a good chalk pen/pencil, making my pieces get lost in translation a bit from the difficulty marking and the lack of precision. (What kind were you using on the nose minky, if you don't mind sharing?) Since you were using just a black sharpie for the most part, does that mean those are safe to use and won't seep though the fur over time? (Which I had assumed would happen when using markers on fur backing?)

[@Pillbugius]

Where do you purchase your fur? I've finished my head base and I find your tutorials grate! C:

[@thegreatindoors6848]

When i use my tape pattern and make the fur, the tape goes on and fits perfectly as it should. However, anytime I sew the fur and stick it on, the fur doesn't fit! It's always too small or at a weird angle even though the pieces line up perfectly with the tape. Why is this, and what can I do?

[@OttersMum]

I have two questions if you don't mind. do you find your glue gun doesn't leak a lot of glue cuz I have a hard time finding one that doesn't 😕 As far as sticking down the fur have you ever used as spray adhesive?

[@echo_is_probably_sleeping]

This is simultaneously making me more scared and less scared to make my fursuit. More scared because it's more complicated than I thought, but less scared because this tutorial is really detailed and I'm able to follow it.

[@razor_editz]

same 😭😭

[@crowcostumes5870]

Looking at this makes me anxious to start furring my head x.x The amount of fur to trim out is astronomical, Thank you for another tutorial Skye!

[@bubblelovessans]

same, im so scared i might fail, since i fail at things a lot T^T

[@whispers._.]

Same, I would really like to make one but I don't know anybody who is doing this and who could help me. Would be so much easier if two people are doing their head next to each other, so they can help each other

[@babybatvomit]

no need to be nervous!! As long as you follow directions and do as Sky directs, and make sure to do what works for you, I’m sure it’ll be fine! And remember: practice makes perfect

[@Nekoneex]

Its ok to fail its your first time anyways

[@blue_mist_]

Lucky for me I’m a plain black cat fursina

omg thats so funny lmao

[@lauravalaite9072]

I am never gonna be able to thank fursuit tutorial creators enough

[@xxdragon_spiritxx9548]

Ooo this is a scary step, good luck to everyone who’s doing their first fursuit! Hopefully i gain the confidence to even start this part TvT

[@todosauce]

i believe in you

[@mewacky]

you should be okay, and remember, nobody's first fursuit is perfect. mine was pretty bad, lol. you'll improve with practice!

[@FreakyFurryCreations]

I'm making mine soon, and I'm totally with you. It's terrifying!

[@Paws_Of_Jade]

Ty 🥲

[@UnboxingAlyss]

I cannot thank you enough for providing us with these detailed tutorials! You really have a knack for breaking things down and providing great angles to properly see what is going on. Your narration further emphasizes what you are doing and makes things a LOT clearer. I won't be making a suit anytime soon, as I need a dedicated craft room to make things this large, but You are easily the first person I recommend when people ask for fursuit help. You are a treasure and U can't wait to see your next vid!

[@moonbox0929]

I’m very late here, but I like how she has headphones on the entire time, weather listening to music or a podcast of some sort I find it interesting that I am not the only one who does so.

[@petuniatherain-nightwing1002]

Currently following this tutorial for my first fursuit, which is of my fursona Bluemoon, and I'm proud of the way she's turning out. I'm actually almost done with the furring. Thank you for this.

[@6pawsonboard]

IVE BEEN HERE FOR FOUR YERAS AND FINNALY MADE MY FIRST FURSUIT IT LOOK GOOD!!!

[@CatCatCatCatCatCatCatCatCat4]

Congratulations :DD

[@rosalyndisgone3987]

I just wanted to say this here cause I’m not gonna get hate. I am working on my head right now! I am furring it, so, I get my fur, and realize, “I don’t have a razor” and so I am now hand shaving my fur with some old scissors

[@cryptidcreates9942]

Oh gosh is the head done now?

[@Furry_vee]

I will follow your tutorials when i will make my very own fursuit

[@kairo4999]

Sweet! Thanks again for doing this tutorial Skye! You've really helped me learn alot through your vids 😁

[@C3dar_fur]

I just bought a head base for my bat fursona, Eden and this tutorial helped so much for furring him! Thank you so much

[@Sabr3wo1f]

Do you have any tips on making the head lighter? When I made mine it was pretty heavy, could I be using too much glue? Not sure if that makes a difference to the weight.

[@SkyehighStudios]

What mainly makes the difference is the density of the foam~ or the size of the head itself, glue by itself wouldn’t make it overly heavy unless you’re using it excessively

[@joemama8916]

The foam or the fur is prob to heavy.

[@ivorythecat5352]

I am not making a fursuit head but I am making dino masks (personal suits) but this video is still very helpful for when I start furring a neck the ears and so on. you're tutorials are very helpful and I watch all of them so I hopefully will become a fursuit maker later in the future.

[@Anything_With_Gunner]

same!

[@Mask3d_mayhem]

Thank you for making these videos, I'm making my first fursuit head and your videos help alot, Tysm❤️

[@TheSourestPatch]

I cannot put into words how much I appreciate all your tutorials and how much I love your videos >^

[@jaspersoceans]

SYKE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I’m remaking my fursuit Jasper and I was going to need a furring tut!

[@sproutz5014]

[@ginapiepie]

Yes! Ty for making this video! now i know what to do when I finally make my first fursuit! 😄

Terrified to glue down the fur today 😭 thank you for the videos, they have been so helpful!

[@ajaxzbo]

looks amazing so far!

[@wafflightz.wiffle.wafer.2017]

Hello skye! another helpful tutorial, Can you elaborate on making a pattern for making a fursuit head out of eva foam?

[@abandoned5158]

Thankyou for this tutorial! This really helped me and ive learned to not eyeball the amount of fur i need 👁️👄👁️👍

[@thatmusicaldog]

Love it! Great video Skye! :))

[@tweets009]

nice! i always like seeing your tutorials, furring has always intimidated me

[@snoepie123]

[@phoebefairy5224]

This tutorial is very helpful, thank you! I tried out your technique sewing the lips inside out and it worked perfectly. It looks a little scary and bulky but it tends to de-bulk once everything's sewn into place, glued and shaved :3

[@CheapCarnyRide]

When she had it just resting on the base @ 7:46 was terrifying

[@orlandopupox13]

this is the best furring a fursuit head tutorial i’ve seen! thank you ^w^

This is all good I'm taking notes and learning how to make my own Got some really cool designs for mine

[@CarrierRants]

Thank god for this, I needed to fur my head since I finished with everything except the attachment of the fur to the foam

[@yoylecide]

Hi!! I'm Dox and I have been studying and taking notes on how to make a fursuit head for more than a few months now. All of this is SO SO helpful for me and I am very thankful for all of this helpful information I have access to. Thank you Skye!

[@aidenhighope6227]

I have 2 questions ! 1st is about safety gear, are anti-dust "paper" mask used in woodworking to protect against fine wood dust also ok for shaving ? I see you have a very big boi mask so I wanted to make sure I was using the appropriate equipement XD 2nd, how would you go about gluing the fur of a head featuring a moving jaw ? would sewing like you did to the jaws work as well for a toony moving jaw base ? great tutorial ! I'll be sure to watch it again !

[@SkyehighStudios]

The anti dust masks will be fine :3 I have never personally furred a moving jaw head properly, but I know you have to position the jaw open as you fur so that the fur can sit inside the hinge when it closes provided that’s how it’s patterned, I’m sure the rest of the technique would be fine!

[@PippiADog]

Omg ty!! I needed this!!!!

[@taylorbecker4079]

That is so cute 🥰🐾

[@bindishepherd]

Watching this makes me feel like I have talent and made it but I’m actually just at home in my pajamas

How do I feel this on a spiritual level

[@xXspottyXx]

Hi skye,I was thinking about making a playlist out of all the fursuit tutorials in this series,so that i can look at em and also that other people get to see em Would ya like that:3

I’m planning on it once all of them were out~

It became fluffy so fast =w=

[@snoepie123]

Hey Girl! You are absolutely genious! I studied fashion design but THIS is something else! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Is er way to make the inside washable? Im worried about hygieen. Just ordered a head to be able to work on! That was not on your list! 17 euros added so to the costen. It is much more difficult to giving a form to the face area than body forms and you do it so goed. You are the first one i tik on abonomeren! :)

[@hillhusky]

Awesome

[@andrecarney9528]

That’s cool

[@waterme1onhusky971]

What type of thread should I use? I know that some seams will pop and it's normal, but I don't want the fur to not stay together. I knew a person where they didn't use the right thread, and the back of the ear came off and had exposed foam, and I'm terrified that will happen to me.

Hey skye! Do you maybe have some tips if someone would be furring a 3D printed hinged jaw fursuit head? I have been looking for a good tutorial so I can fur the head I'm gonna get from Fuzzbutt Fursuits

[@wall_sniper]

I think I might take the lazy route and avoid trimming mine as much as possible. I’m still in the foam base phase, just looking ahead to see what I can do.

[@Dianapiano123]

Hello sky!! I have some questions, I’m making a fursuit head, and I don’t think I can sow anywhere on my base because it’s gonna probably be like a hard base, not a foam base. What else do I do so the fur doesn’t fall off??

[@_Mozzy_]

7:56 bro the head 😭

[@NovaTheScreechingDragon]

it scares me

[@Luna_The_Artist_14]

I’m making my first fursuit and I need to know when tracing your pattern pieces on to the fur (for the head) should I trace around the pieces exactly or add a little border? (I’m not good with wording sorry if that doesn’t make sense😂)

[@Angelatheangel99]

i want to make paws, is there any good way to make patterned paws, like tabby cat or stripes, i was also wondering hoe to make scars and stuff i wanna do customs

Good luck :DD

[@KOIF1NZ]

That head is staring in my soul

[@real_super_mario2235]

Ok so I have this fox mask from Walmart I took of the fur and put foam where everything needs to be is it better to sew the seems or glue fur over the seems

[@dapplestar1231]

sewing makes it last longer and look better

[@GBloxers]

hi, just wondering-- what is the motivation for using a long, straight stitch? what are the consequences of using this stitch over others?

[@kurkku2433]

Im so anxious to start furring my first head and can i cut the fur short with scissors

[@itz_galaxyblossom7033]

Also,whats the difference between project and upholstery foam because project foam is kinda soft...

[@SkyehighStudios]

Upholstery foam is too xD

[@wyvernflight]

What about memory foam?

[@bug6235]

are there any more tips on not cutting the fur accidentally when cutting the pattern? i cut my fur and it looks SO choppy im very sad about it 😭

[@ninevehgrey]

Are you using scissors? Because thats probably the issue. You should get an exacto knife and cut the backing of the fur so you dont make it choppy. If you can't get an exacto knife then just be very careful and slow with the scissors, making sure to only cut the backing and avoiding the fur.

[@skiiipawbs]

No clue if your gonna see this, but the darts that you cut out, how do you machine sew those?

[@leonhard7211able]

I LOVE your work would u ever sell some cuz I’m looking for one to buy

[@fawn.animations]

Where did you get the duct tape pieces from? Idk how to get them to trace over them

[@vinnspants]

How much seam allowance do you add to the face pieces? Is it different than the seam allowance you’d put on a bodysuit?

[@FernclawProductions]

Should be the same seam allowance on a bodysuit piece, usually seam allowance is around half an inch for machine sewing, can be less if you handsew or if you're very confident with a sewing machine already! On stretchy fur/materials it's always better to have at least half an inch tho, as its easy to have them wriggle out of place

[@taylorbuston5068]

I HAVE A QUESTION, so im gettng a sewing machine pretty soon but i dont know what one to get that will sew thick fur together. any recommendations?

[@FernclawProductions]

Don't know alot of machine types but make sure to get sturdy needles! Leather or denim type needles are usually good for fur since it's made for dense materials! It works with regular needles too but they'll break more often

[@staticscoffee]

I know you probably won't see this since this video is a little older but I have a question what direction is the fur facing in the bead? Is it facing down or sideways?

[@KlinxKreations]

On the head, the fur goes away from the muzzle, towards the tip of the ears, and down the neck.
