  2. Stuff body, head, arms, and legs as work progresses. Do not stuff ears or tail.

  3. When fastening off, always leave a 12-18"/30.5-45.5cm long tail for sewing.

  4. If desired, weight the bottom with a small nylon bag of beans or poly-pellets. Place the bag at the bottom of the body before beginning to stuff with fiberfill.
