I want to cuddle that mew, it looks so soft

[@littleg5664]

Yeah, I have Chocobo (Choly Knight's pattern) I call "Flop Neck". I blew up the pattern to make him humongous, but, when I was making a big one for the first time, I didn't stuff his neck very well and was really weird about attaching the head with the body, like I ladder stitched as little fabric as possible for some reason. The next I made was fine because I fixed all those mistakes, but I still debate whether or not to decapitate Flop Neck and fix him.

Mew Is one of my favorite Pokemon! This is so adorable!! I might even make it!

[@lakamokolaka]

I am surprised at 17:18 you didn't put heavy metal music on to match the headbanging you two were doing XD

[@dollphinwing]

A missed opportunity I guess xD

I rip apart the squishmallows and use them for my fabric

[@jasonrenard798]

Aaaaa I love squishmallows so much, thank you for figuring this stuff out and sharing with us! That mew looks absolutely ADORABLE and so soft weh. I'll be saving your site later to pick up that pattern and I may chance an order from aliexpress to get those other colors. Also really cool editing in your video btw :3

What type of sewing/embroidery machine did you use for the embroidery designs?

[@dollphinwing]

I currently use the Brother PE770 and made the files with Embrilliance

[@databx8188]

@@dollphinwing oh ok thank you!

[@databx8188]

@@dollphinwing and for the fabric can I use peach skin fabric as an substitute? Or is there any similar fabric to get somewhere else than aliexpress and joans?

[@fairylady5]

Hi, The fabric you used for your plushie had stretching both ways you stretched. How do find the right way to cut it, when it stretches like that? Please advise. Thant you

[@dollphinwing]

This type of fabric has a fur texture called the "pile" so you can lay your pieces with the fur down (think how the finished plushie will be, when you pet it you want the fur to point down to the ground) You can also find the selvage, or the finished edge of the fabric, and cut your pieces parallel to that.

[@fairylady5]

@@dollphinwing thank you very much!

[@elenaalejandra1372]

So theoretically, do any changes need to be made when using mochi minky instead of regular minky? I was sent mochi instead of regular!

[@dollphinwing]

I personally didn't make any adjustments to the pattern. Mostly just had to make sure I wasn't over-stuffing which is easy to do with a very stretchy fabric! If you wanted to limit the stretch, you could put interfacing on the back of the fabric. Hope that helps!

[@destiny8967]

Do you have a pattern for that cat behind you? I love it!

[@dollphinwing]

Thanks, I commissioned that one from Lithefider Creatures! Their work is awesome and I need to get another one :D www.etsy.com/shop/LitheFider
