I know, it takes time and practice and classes to learn. I can tell you that when you are doing a doll's hand like this...you are using a template, the pattern is traced on your fabric and you lower you stitch to 1.0 and go slowly around the fingers and make two stitches between the fingers. Then the hand is turned with finger tubes and the wires inserted.
I live in Longwood Florida and I teach at the Sewing Studio in Maitland....this particular doll I cannot teach....as Arley teaches his dolls.
There are many good teachers like Arlery Berryhill and Mimi, and Pati Culea, Jill Maas, Judy Ward. These I mention because I know they are good teachers. Try to find a class in your area and if they are around, take a class or check out their schedule.
