You shouldn't feel inadequate. We all started out not knowing how to do things. Just jump right in and experiment making something. I found some of the projects I take on are not the exact replica of what I started out to do and if I make mistakes, I learn from them and sometimes the mistakes I make on one project will work in the next. When I taught school I used to tell my second graders, "There is no such word as 'can't" try 'i will try".

Barb, have you made bears before. In the instructions is states this pattern is for expirenced bear makers. :shock: :?: I have never made a bear. Hey I have never stuffed anything untill a week ago. We did a doll swap here for 6 inch dolls and you had to make Two. Mine are so silly. Anyway just wanted to know how much experience is needed. :D

I traced the pattern pieces onto fusable paper then cut out the pattern pieces and I fused the patterns onto the muslin, removed the paper backing of the fusable muslin patterns and fused the muslin patterns onto the nine patchs. Worked well but I think next time I will make larger teddy bears. It was a bit of a challenge turning body parts right side out and materials were pretty stiff to sew seams after stuffing. [/quote]

Dp you think it was better to fuse to the muslin than the patches? I was thinking of just fusing to the patches, but I guess fusing to the muslin first makes it much more durable, with not so many seam that could come out. ? Gosh I guess I want you to teach me............ :D
