Sew on Amigurumi Limbs and Pieces

[@nancyhammons3594]

Thank you so much, I agree with one of the other commenters the patterns never tell you how to sew a limb on, it just says sew it, even the beginners patterns.

[@michellehanula]

Thank you soooo much!!! This is so helpful!!! I just made a zebra and was about to wing it when I found your video and I'm so glad I did!!! I now feel much more confident about attaching and assembling all of the pieces. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@wiseposs]

Another option is to hold the head in place on the body with some fine knitting needles. Skewer style 😀

[@Bunefoo401]

Struggling with floppy heads on my Somebunnies … I’ve crocheted all my life,s but never Amigurumi’s. This was VERY helpful, and my head is no longer flopping. Thank you

[@thefriendlyredfox6001]

You're welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@lecishaeacholes2651]

Thank u for this video. Cannot stress enough how helpful seeing limbs being sewn on truly is.

[@jgre5219]

I am glad that I found your video because I am to sew on the limbs today and didn't really know how. You made it very easy and clear. Thanks for taking the to make and share this video ❣️

[@Christodophilus]

Your zebra is so adorable, and love all the extra tips with piecing together. Thanks for sharing.

[@jb987_]

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed! Unfortunately I already cut the tail off my pieces, but I have leftover thread so I think I will just loop it in and knot on the backside.

[@Xxthemamabearxx]

Thank you so much for your free videos & patterns. I'm here because i couldn't figure out how to sew the head on the unicorn ( following your free pattern) this was so helpful!

[@elizabethpost9929]

Good video. A couple of ideas I haven't tried. I like the way she used the pins. I have been pinning like I was sewing fabric, sideways. The pins are always in the way of the sewing. Can't wait to try pinning in vertically.

[@chnookthompson]

This was perfection. Thank you!! I'm less scared to complete my project now.

[@susanwhite1450]

Thank you! This video is so informative. I'm going to be crocheting dolls similar to this for my local hospital and the pattern I was given had no directions for how to sew all the pieces together. The zebra is adorable!

[@ysaethwr]

Thank you so much! I’m starting a project I’m really excited about, but I’ve never done amigurumi before so properly attaching parts was a huge mystery to me.

[@Paslayas]

Thank you! Sowing limbs are tricky, you made it easier with your input❤️💗❤️

[@kelleygrubaugh6145]

Thanks very helpful. I have never attached a head to the body so well! Very much pleased.

[@valphillips7002]

Thank you so much for this video, it is very clear and easy to follow. Most patterns and videos don’t show you how to join pieces together so it is very helpful. I made Gloria the goat and followed this video when adding the pieces so it has come out very well and looks just like your pattern. Many thanks 👍😃❤️

[@elizabethfinegan8018]

Just a wee tip: you can also bend a plastic needle into a C shape! It helped me so much 😊

[@claramarone5510]

Ohhhhhhh great idea!!!!! Cause my hands are arthritic. Thanks.

[@biancaluedeker]

Ohhhhhhh

[@almahughes7636]

Thank you soooo much! I have been really struggling with this and your instructions are so clear and helpful. Also your zebra is adorable 😊

While the pieces are flat, I fold and use waste yarn to mark centre front back and both sides, then continue these down as I work more of the head. I mark the centre front and sides of the body as well, so I don't have to agonise over it later. Waste yarn can stay in until the toy is completed, so If things don't end up quite right, I can remove them and re-position. I find it easier to attatch limbs and ears etc while the body and head are separate. I can get my fingers inside to hold the stuffing away, or find placement and remove stuffing until sewn on, I don't like having to get stuffing back out of sewn stitches. If I'm making another toy from the same pattern, I count stitches on my sample toy, to position pieces to a formula, and sew ears and eyes on before finishing crocheting the head. I whip stitch then ladder stitch, for strong attatchments. I leave sewing tail (LST), 4× seam length and 4cm/11/2 inches. To keep track of pieces I use my sewing tails to 'cobble' them on to their places as completed. I find it easier to see what is still needed. On flat joined pieces, I like to sew the end shut, then I sew each side down separately, which is easier that going from side to side with each stitch. These can be still sewn into the same spaces on the body. I use extra blunt needles to hold things on, can't prick my fingers. Doll neeedles(long) and mattress needles(longer) are very good for getting positioning even.

[@karenhatfield2380]

Thank you. I’ve been struggling with attaching.

[@kellymcclurg5639]

Great zebra and sewing up. This was super helpful. I also love your ring. Could I ask where I can find one similar? Thank you

[@sweetneese2567]

Ty so much! Always had trouble attaching limbs. You’ve made this so easy for me now ☺️

[@gabbyfranks2875]

This is the best demo and instructions that I’ve found. Thanks!

[@guisell73778]

Honestly I think your way is amazing im just terrible on following instructions 😭 no-sew patterns from now on

[@elizabethvisser9951]

Awesome video! Thank you so much! I’m working on your darling unicorn right now for the sweetest little girl on earth. (In my total unbiased opinion ;) I was nervous about this part but you’ve put my mind right at ease! Thank you for all you do. 💕

[@willettejordan3785]

I'm new to crocheting. I want to make a simple doll or this zebra you are showing how to sew together, where can I find your video on making these. Thanks

[@KrissD.]

Hi there .. I have the patterns of urs for the mermaid dolls that u posted in March 21 , 2017 on ur website and was curious to know what exact yarns and color names u used for a couple of the dolls u show in pics on ur website? 😊 Like the dolls with a green bikini top and hot pink top and the one with light pink top brown skin and embroidered eyes u did . Those are 3 were wondering what yarn colors were called for hair . I know a boucle yarn I guess lion brand but also color names 😋 I hope u can help me with this cause I’ve really been searching hard lol 😂 thanks u!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Excellent tutorial!! Thank you so much for making this video!

[@Beachgirl7654321]

Very good technique. Especially the anchoring stitches. I'm new to this and hadn't thought of that :)

[@Jellywife]

Thank you so much for this video. I love making toys so much but I feel my assembly of them always lets the quality down. I must get one of those angled yarn needles!

[@CdnMystery]

Thank you so much for sharing this. And, your zebra is totes adorable. Can you please tell me the pattern source?

[@rsr4099]

Very informative video, I subscribed. Thank you! A couple of suggestions... the music needs to be lower and slower. Several times you were off screen when showing what you were doing. You are on the right track looking forward to more videos

[@dawnmontgomery73]

I just made my first amigurumi (unicorn) for my granddaughter's 4th birthday) and so wish I had seen this before I made it. It would've made completing it much easier. Never occurred to me to look up "tips for amigurumi" lol

[@liambailey148]

Little question What king of string did you use, I've been trying with thread and it does work very well

[@darlenarobertson1958]

Will remember the pull test, 👍

[@faybaldwin1745]

Check out Holly on her site. She has a great way to attach head to body, without head wobble. Her site is The Proper Pineapple.

[@faybaldwin1745]

I love your sewing on this. I want to try to make one!

[@shezcal]

Now I know why my bunny head falls down…not enough filling. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & secure attaching method.

[@itsinthebagcrochetwithdarla]

Great tutorial, Thanks!

[@inspectorsteve2287]

So when you are doing the ears are you going under the ear through the head and then bring it back the other way through the ear. Or are you going through the head and ear at the same time then back through the ear only?

[@telpen6613]

love the zebra and its very helpful , but the music is driving me crazy

[@irmamikelat7921]

Lol

[@ioannavalathan9290]

Really? I loved the music, I was just gonna comment on how nice music this video has!

[@jessiemay2803]

Love your demo. And your work. Do you have a pattern for this please.

[@jjones1341]

Great tips!!! Thank you!

[@kaym804]

Thanks for sharing, very helpful information for a newby amigurumi crocheted!

[@MeliPixie]

So, you only weave the ends? There are no knots involved? And that is secure? Sorry, making my first amigurumi, and the pattern I'm using is not being as clear as I had thought it was.

[@Beachgirl7654321]

Thanks MeliPixie. I had the same question.

[@bine9526]

Thank you a lot. A helpful video in deed. 🙂 There is only the "music", that disturbs me very much. It hurts in my ears 👂 because there are very high tones. Please could you make the video without background music? 🙏 That would be very kind and a boon for my head. 💖

[@jilllowman9848]

My pins always come out. How do you get them to stay?

[@daughterofgod9507]

How did you do those cute little ears?

[@Beachgirl7654321]

When sewing on the ear, you did anchoring stitches. Is that all? Or was there more sewing? I couldn't tell :)

[@mrjunglejane123]

Do you have a tigger pattern

[@claramarone5510]

Great video thanks soo much!!!

[@Christena1601]

Thank you

[@lolitaturner-smith3513]

Mine always looks like it has a neck. It doesn’t keep that round shape.

[@brittbrownmarsh]

Thank you so much for this!

[@Beachgirl7654321]

Do you use a double strand of yarn when sewing?

[@michaelamilmerstadt1872]

Thank you Kali!

[@YenneY01]

Is there a reason the body is open at the top?

[@miladucharme9103]

Such an informative video thank you very much!

[@biancaluedeker]

Question for y’all: does it feel like your needle is too big? The eye of mine gets stuck in the stitches, but if it were any smaller, I could not get the yarn through the eye.

[@thefriendlyredfox6001]

I started using curved tapestry needles and it's made all the difference! I've got some linked in my storefront! amzn.to/3lxJgnx

Can’t see which stitch you are picking up. The camera pint is not so great too because move stuff up and down too much.

[@LovinLifeOurWay1]

Why can’t you sew the limbs before you stuff body or ears before you stuff head ?
