Handleiding

To sew your monster together, you will need

a few different stitches — in other words, a

few different techniques for pulling the thread

through the fabric with the needle. It’s best to

first practice the stitches on a small scrap of

fabric.

You will need:

Needle, thread, ruler, scissors, fabric scrap

(ideally cotton)

Here’s how:

The starting knot: Start by cutting off a

piece of thread about 40 cm in length. (If the

piece of thread is too long, it will get tangled

easily.) Thread it through the eye of the

needle. It will be hard at first, but it gets

easier with practice.

Tie a fat knot at the end of the long section

of thread by winding it several times around

your index finger and then pulling the end of

the thread through the “ring.”

The running stitch: Stick the needle

through the back of the fabric and bring it

out the front. Then continue inserting the

needle through the fabric at even intervals

from the front and back in alternation,

pulling the thread through each time.

The backstitch: Insert the needle and thread

through the fabric from the front. On the back

side, guide the needle a little to the left and

then insert it through the fabric and bring it

out the front again.

Insert the needle again through the first hole

working from the front to the back, and

guide the thread on the back side twice as

far to the left as you did the first time.

The most important stitches

The fabric should

always stay smooth

and not pucker. If it

puckers, that means

you pulled the thread

too tight.
