Can I suggest you making a tutorial sometime, on how to attach plush heads to bodies? I think the method of attaching the finished head to the stuffed body is more practical than making them all one piece like I have been, but I don't understand how to sew them together.. =/ in fact, I have a hard time with anything where the needle has to go inside the body because well.. I don't know how to get it to come back through... xD
Honestly, there's not much interesting to say about attaching heads XD I pin the heads to the body with numerous pins and sew the parts together by using small vertical stitches. If there's a lot of hair in the way I brush the hair out of the way so I can see the base. Afterwards i brush the stray hairs from the seams with an average comb or with very short faux fur I pluck them out with a needle.
As for not knowing where the needle comes out, I still have that a lot XD That's why my fingers usually look so red and abused. I stab myself in the fingers quite often
I will see if I can make a quick sketch of my way of sewing body parts together in the next couple of days. Because I don't think a tutorial would be of much use for this
