Big Footed Friends

I received my first order for Big Footed Friends, an elephant and a lamb.   


Although the stitching time on the machine for all the parts is a mere half an hour, it takes a few hours to complete them.  They are completely made in the hoop, so one has to be careful to not catch the limbs in the body's seams.  I also slow the machine down as to help the foot go over the lumpy parts smoothly and to not get stuck as the whole toy could be ripped out of the frame, needles broken etc.


The designs are available from Dolls and Daydreams
Made from an Original Days and Daydreams ® Pattern
