Tips & Tricks

• When using low-tack tape while die cutting shapes, make sure to keep tape on edges so felt shape isn’t damaged.
• Add all your details before sewing bunnies (and eggs together).
• Stuff as you stitch to make it easier to stuff small spaces like legs & ears.
• Consider making felt stickers by applying felt to sheet of doubled sided adhesive before die cutting. Instant sticker!
• Don’t have the right color felt or floss on hand? Use alcohol markers to color what you need.
• Add extra details like cheeks with colored pencils or alcohol markers.
• The pre-punched holes with the Sew Cute dies are also the perfect opportunity for experienced stitchers to try a new stitch. Make sure to check out the EBE Paper Embroidery Stitch Guide!
