1.make toy's head round make a knot wind thread at the end of the index finger two or three times and then use your thumb to rub with your index one. You can make a knot easily with this way. 2.be tied up by knot and sewing backstitch backstich is used to make waldorf universally and basically. smaller stich can make prettieer toys after finish. If you want to make tiny toys, close stiches are essential. another tip is to pull thread not to loose on the toys. If you are not good at sewing you would use sewing machine, however, in case of mini toys or toy's clothes you'd better sew by hand

3.make a body and connect all things one another sewing up with invisible seam this skill is used to tie clothes to toy's body with thread. Or to connect head to body:) or legs to body...whatever. It's very helpful skill to make waldorf. Between stuffs sew in zigzags. Please keep your regular interval to sew these.(close stitches are much much better.) usually, sewing less than 5mm is best. It will make your toys very neat and tidy. 4.wrap up in a cloth putting in hemms first of all you should start inside material and put one upon another stuff at sama time. And then about 1cm apart, repeat sewing. You can see oblique line inside stuff but not outside. This skill is used to cover toy;s hair on the head.
