I sometimes sew over the pins -<i> placed side on like your clips</i> - if I need both hands on a fiddly piece. I usually slow the speed right down to avoid needle breakage.Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082891485735387579.post-47750690022920351942010-12-18T06:20:21.615-08:002010-12-18T06:20:21.615-08:00Thankyou BumbleVee I've learnt a lot already :...Thankyou BumbleVee I've learnt a lot already :)<br />Those alligator clips appeal to me - they're bigger than pins!<br />Also, frayedattheedge's hint about using a cocktail stick to stroke the fur away as you sew, thanks!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849036690807834080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082891485735387579.post-22421034513245545892010-12-15T08:22:17.833-08:002010-12-15T08:22:17.833-08:00Can´t wait to see the end result of your handy wor...Can´t wait to see the end result of your handy work! <br />Enjoy that Chinook ... hope it lasts for a good few days.

Have you tried using a cocktail stick to stroke the fur away from the seam allowance as you sew - easier than picking it out afterwards!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082891485735387579.post-30752777090003756162010-12-14T03:59:29.250-08:002010-12-14T03:59:29.250-08:00Wow, making bears seems very complicated.
