I'm actually furring my own right now and this is really gonna help

[@Serpent_X]

I know, I'm about to start making mine and this was awsome!

[@bannnz]

The third one is SO helpful! I've always had problems with like... having to sew down the last piece of fur to a head, but being too afraid of the seams showing so I'd have to cut a little hole and flip it inside out and it was way too much work that could've been avoided >

[@lapisangstylazuli]

This is incredibly useful, I also find hand sewing quite relaxing so I can now use this stitches for little pluches and stuff when I'm boring

[@SvenskaXSuomi]

Thank you so much Kloof! I'll be sure to reference this video when I need to. I pledged what I can for now - will hopefully pledge some more in the future when I can!

[@Kloofsuits]

Thank you, I was so excited to receive an email of a new pledge - every little bit helps me put more time into sharing my work and my videos. I hope you enjoy what you see :3

[@lobiethecartoonist5285]

bless you for keeping the video nice and slow-i always get lost when people speed it up too much 😅 i'll definitely be coming back to this once i start making my own suit 👍👍

[@lenaya3993]

You should made more videos, maybe new timelapse... or finished commision show up! Would be great!!!😍😄

[@Kloofsuits]

I'd very much like to make more videos - I have a new timelapse on the way that I'm filming right now, and I have lots of others planned - I hope I can find the time to make more videos for you all :D

[@thepluraloftiger]

i saw your tail/update video from 2016 in a 'fursuit making' search just now, then i checked your channel for recent videos and here i am. that ladder stitch blew my mind. i wanna get into suit making

[@Charlockle]

Thank you so much, I've been trying to figure out ladder stitching for a while now and you explained it so simply

[@BetaRat]

Awesome video! I was actually doing the ladder stitch the wrong way so I learned something new! I'll soon check out your patreon and pledge (might be in a couple of weeks when I know im financially secure). You make great videos and I learn a lot from them. i find myself watching them time and time again because I keep finding myself learning new things from them even after the 5th watch through! Keep up the great work, and I look forward to more video's! Wether they be tutorials or not. Edit: whoops i meant ladder stitch haha

[@nori9590]

..whoops, I've been using the ladder stitch for everything ;v; Good to know it's only for closing up things haha

[@Rileyy333]

Im trying to learn how to sew and start making fursuits and this is super helpful

[@angstybreadstyx1242]

I'm aware you use the zig-zag stitch a lot in your tutorials, I'm confused as to what parts of the fursuit to use that stitch on and why using that stitch would be better than the blanket stitch?

[@triangleshiny]

older comment and be aware that i'm not a maker but: in clothing zig zag stitch is generally used for stretchy fabrics and knits, as well as places that need to stretch more. it allows the fabric to move with its intended amount of stretch without separating or popping the seam as easily. the blanket stitch offers a much better hold on heavier materials like thick fleece or fur, and in my experience is used for binding raw edges on fabrics or pieces you can't really hem easily (like a blanket!). it's a much more robust stitch, but it isn't necessary or even desirable for everything.

[@CasinoKing04]

these are very helpful. i plan on making my own fursuit but i never learned how to sow. ive been looking through so many videos and preparing a list of materials i will need and how much it is and how much i need. these are REALLY helpful tho for when i actually make it. thank you!

[@DreamDrawz]

This is sooo helpful, I’m making my first suit and have never sown anything in my life 😂

[@gardengoyle113]

This was extremely helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing! 😄☀

[@EdgeDaBean]

Thank you so much kloof! I’m furring my friends Fursuit head right now and this is really gonna help! :D

[@rachelpatterson1115]

That ladder stitch shook me to my very core

[@possumlino]

I do blanket stitching for the head all the time

[@fleshy5584]

Very useful

[@mollz3704]

Thank you so much! I think I'm finally understanding the blanket stitch.

[@Hi-op8rg]

Love this! I’ve been using the blanket stitch for everything on my fursuit because I’m worried it’ll fall apart easily

[@brttnylynne8522]

Thank you so much this video helped a lot and I’m a fursuit maker at 13

[@katec708]

Lightning the wolf I just looked at your channel and your fursuit looks amazing! Keep doing what you’re doing❤️

[@y4e4a4h]

I LOVEEE using the blanket Stitch!

[@stormithewolf2695]

I first started using the regular stitch and then switched over to blanket stitch, I use blanket only now whenever I sew small things together

[@kawaiibunnycosplays156]

i love your vids

[@lynn8977]

I’ve taken months to start furring my suit so thanks!!

[@ishallbloom7932]

I found one of your other videos very helpful, but now I'm wondering, is it possible to do a cube head for a fur suit, if it is can you perhaps do a tutorial on it???

[@dumbassboxer8507]

I'm_blooming_soon_darling. What do you mean by cube head? Do you mean the fursuit base being a cube?

[@raffy_love695]

Спасибо

[@ChaosWithSomeSparkles]

Tysm :0 this really helped fix a hole in the stitching

[@maggiebarthel8959]

I use your sewing patterns to fix my niece's Teddy's and it is so much easier than what I was doing

[@alexander_creepy]

When I heard "2018" I swear my eyes went WIDE

[@a_very_very_cool_person]

What would be the best stitch for doing paws? I’m not 100% sure

[@ChampaRealLordChampa]

Can you completely hand stitch a fursuit? do you need a sewing machine, or is it just faster and convenient?

[@shamanly3087]

You can completely handstitch, using a sewing machine just makes it more sturdy and quick!

[@Kloofsuits]

Same answer as previous reply - you can hand stitch everything! This video mostly applies to the times I need to hand stitch, but by all means you do not need a machine. I taught myself by making everything by hand for a couple years!

[@ChampaRealLordChampa]

Shamanly Thank you for the advice!

[@ChampaRealLordChampa]

Kloofsuits Okay thanks! I'm going to hand stitch mine until I get a machine

[@SavageDroggo]

when I built mine, i hand sewed it first to make it easier for the sewing machine then I machine sew it again to make sure it’s strong enough

[@Shagayajahayjaj]

What's the best type of string (or whatever it's called) to use

[@moonstormwolfpack9727]

Would blanket stitch be better on heads?

[@kylacorynn6553]

I'm having difficulty with my dutchies ears, I can't get the shape right so they sitters way I want.

[@fluffybunny3d227]

Did you ever get the ears to be the right shape?

[@kylacorynn6553]

@@fluffybunny3d227 yup I figured it out thank you.

[@meatgraffiti]

bless

[@silverstormstudios5254]

Defintly not me using black thread on white short fur

[@abigailoralan3501]

So would you use the blanket stitch for the body?

[@ScootOtter]

If you're hand sewing parts of the body, yes the blanket stitch would be best. But machine sewing is best for larger portions of bodies.

[@abigailoralan3501]

@@ScootOtter Ah, okay. Thank you.

[@annastevenson4325]

Could you do a tutorial for stitches on a sewing machine? If you could that would help me out so much :)

[@zerowolf4051]

Thanks!! :0

[@chanceo4999]

I don't know if you did this in your making up the fursuit head but I would like to know how you so up for for the fur suit head

[@hershey687]

Which stitch would you reccemond for putting together fur for the tail?

[@xferretz9406]

Well. Okay then

[@boneking7517]

You probably have this some ware but can’t find it. Do you have a website or amino or instagram that has all you commissioning info

[@user-gk9ut9qc1o]

At first I thought the music in the background was from sally face XD

[@sarahnismithh]

When I fur my fur suit I am not going to sew at all 😑 all I am doing is called hot glue lol

[@hydradragon37]

Starboat Lps I’ve tried hot glue, it works okay but there will be seams when your parts of fur meet. Like this: Fur part*seam*fur part

[@ScootOtter]

Then your suit will fall apart faster. You have to sew fur patterns together, it will last a lot longer and look way better.

[@metakhorse2300]

Color name fur ? or link ?

[@createa.googleaccount713]

Telling us what's in your head, what you know, isn't exactly a tutorial. I'm trying to imagine what you did not do but are talking about 🙃🤨
