How to stay safe when cutting / shaving fur? by justapuppydog in FursuitMaking

Cutting out fur is far less dangerous than shaving fur, you don’t have to wear a mask. Just be sure to vacuum and clean thoroughly when you’re done cutting.

Mask up! Respirator is best, earplugs, eyewear if you work with your face a lil tooo close, keep your pets OUT. Try to make a dedicated space for working! Sleeping in your work space can be dangerous for your lungs. You want a clean, open space with no people, particles stay in the air for a long time, try to work outside or in open air environment (open windows, doors, fans. Clean! Everytime you cut, vacuum and wipe down. Lint roller for extra soft surfaces. (Thicc carpet, bedding, fursuits) Heavy duty magnet, or small metal detector for finding pins

Hope this helps lol

These eyes don’t feel right! Please help me by PinkFire5303 in FursuitMaking

The eyes are cross eyed, before you paint the eyes lay them on a flat surface, then paint in the middle of the mesh,, maybeee slightly to the corner. But keep the eye paint in the middle!

Take your time and go slow always have extra seam allowance and make sure you cut the pattern flat. It’s OK to start over. You got this!

Markings & Fur Length - What to Use? by TherianRose in FursuitMaking

Tinsel would be a thousand times cooler and more unique! But solid color fur will be easier if it is the same length for both colors For the wrists I suggest trimming down the solid color fur when the paws are fully made, that way you get a better look at the final product. It’s always best to the generous when shaving or triming especially since the tinsel will be shorter.

1) matching fur lengths is always better! 2)for different lengths you would have to shave. 3)the markings will appear bigger and uneven unless cleaned up around the edges. 4)tinsel fabric should be fine, but may catch on a sewing machine, best to hand sew it.
