Assembly & Finishing Details

Ears: Stitch both ears across the upper sides of the head near R31–R32.
Tail: Position and sew the tail onto the back around R7–R10.
Facial Sculpting: Using strong embroidery thread, anchor the needle at the base of the neck, exit near the outer edge of an eye, re-enter at the inner edge, and pull back out through the neck base. Gently pull the thread to sink the eye slightly into the head, knot, and repeat for the other eye.
Details: Embroider delicate eyelashes, thin eyebrows, and a small vertical mouth line under the nose using dark cotton yarn.
