***DO NOT USE PLUSH FELTS on the LargeTeddy Bears and Bunnies. Babies often chew on the eyes in which case they can come out becoming a choking hazard.
* ALWAYS USE SAFETY EYES!!!
* To test for softness of a fur rub it up against your cheek. If it feels scratchy on your cheek it will feel scratchy to a child. Don't settle. There are many beautiful
* To test whether or not fur will get "ratty" roll it between you fingers. if it feels somewhat wirey that is the nylon that you are feeling and it wont stay nice. It should feel slippery .
* Bears can be made with just about any material. From favorite Quilts, Blankets, flannel sheets etc. An old coat is NOT enough material for the 2 of 3 ft. animals.
* Sizes on all large bears are approximate. All materials "stretch" differently. The less stretch a material has the smaller it will be. An average "stretch is about 1.5 inches.
* Bears are measured from Feet to Head unless otherwise indicated.
* Sleepy Bear is designed to lie down. If you try to sit him up his arms will stick straight up over his head.
* Use a good quality polyester (not cotton) fiberfil. Poly-fil byFairfield is an excellent choice since it doesnt "Ball up" over time. It remains "Bouncy" and gives the animal that "Huggable" quality.
* Large Eyes (24-30mm) are VERY DIFFICULT to find. Please consider purchasing at the time of your order. Many times people feel that they can find them on their own then they have to submit a second order. 20mm eys can be found at Major Retail Sewing Centers but you won't be able to find the larger sizes.
* Noses are the "sewn in" kind. They arent plastic. If you are timid about sewing in a nose, you can handstitch it in. I always do it this way, and you absolutely cannot tell.
