When you cut it, you only cut the leather part, try not to cut the fur. It can be very difficult to sew. An old machine will usually sew better than the new electronic ones. And get leather needles and use a longer stitch. Zig zag works great. If you are going to make stuffed animals, try to find a pattern with few seams and not too much detail. Try sewing on some of the scraps first to see how it goes. Good Luck :!: :!: :lol:
