Thank you. She has wings.
It looks more like white fibers, long strands. You should be okay as far as Lexy bleeding... lol...Stewie studmuffin wrote:What does the polyfil look like? Does it look like small white balls? I have found some of that in my bed a couple of times and was hoping that it was coming from my pillow rather than Lexy.
If it's coming from her, I don't know from what part of her as I haven't seen any holes or loose seams. So it's a mystery.
Hopefully your lady is ok though. While Teddy Babes are easy to fix, I still panic anytime I think that something may be wrong with mine.

Perfect, thank you. I'm a little nervous about doing this maybe I'll try and attempt it tomorrow.

A needle and thread.
Thread the needle. Make sure you double thread so there a bout 6 inches extra past the length of her back. til the thread ends meet than knot the ends together.
What you will be doing is a zig zag stitch.
This part is hand sewn so you can have access to her back.
Start at the bottom. Loop the needle through one side of her back so the knotted end is still hanging free"then put the needle through the other side. Now the needle will go between the 2 pieces of thread you knotted at the ends, pull til it disapears into her back.it should not come back out. Now you have take the needle amd insert it parallel into one side of her plush very close to the seam insert the needle to take up 1/8 of an inch of plush pull the needleback out. Do the same on the other side at the point where you pulled the needle out on the other side. Repeat until sewn up. It you need anything else let me know. Post a pic if you can.
This picture helps a lot. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.samara78 wrote:This is how they are sewn in back. The red represents your thread.
That's good to know! One less thing to worry about.Juncharted2 wrote: It looks more like white fibers, long strands. You should be okay as far as Lexy bleeding... lol...
The back seams on mine are somewhat different. More of a straight line. Of course both of mine are standard models and the back seems could be one of the differences between the standard and deluxe models.Juncharted2 wrote:Stewie studmuffin wrote:
Does your back seam look like mine, all windy like that. That was the first thing me and my fiancee noticed upon inspecting her....
This is how they are made that is for access to the back. Hand sewn they all look like this.Juncharted2 wrote:Perfect, thank you.

Well thank you. I take my time with things like this that I am passionate about. Plus you should know I've been planning this for some time. First of all I've wanted a TB since 2012, finally mustered up the cash to get one in March and have been working with fabric markers practically since I was a teenager. I'm 35 now and if there was an "inkling" that I would have ruined her I wouldn't have even tested the fabric markers but she's solid. No running ink, no bleeding and she's unique. Exactly the way I envisioned her to turn out.JackieTreehorn wrote:I'll be honest; I'm not really a fan of tattoos and secretly I might have even frowned a bit when I saw this. But... that is still pretty impressive. I fully expected it to be a disaster, but it turned out way better than I thought. I still wouldn't choose it, but I definitely respect the talent and creativity that went into it, and it's certainly not the train wreck I expected.
The embroidered lips, and especially the eyes look good too. I didn't think that would look so good either before I saw it, but well done sir.
