Thanks to eveyrone who gave advice! It definitely came in handy. I didn't do a decorative stitch, just a small zig zag and it worked great, so I thought I'd share.

This is for the little girl who lost her "slinky" in a fire that destroyed everything the family had, I gave it to her Aunt today and she loved it!

Thanks for looking!
