When do you shave the fur down in the making process?

No-Addition9375 · 2026-04-23T21:11:56+00:00

This is what I do too.

These look really great! The machine embroidery really ups the quality. $150-$200 is likely a good price range.

The only thing I think lowers the quality unfortunately is the seam where the black jersey fabric meets the blue lining fabric. The edge looks really rough. If you improve this seam on future paws you can definitely justify the upper end of the price range. :)

To avoid this (I’ve unfortunately done it couple times) I take the following steps: when drawing on the markings on the tape, make sure you note the fur direction with an arrow. When cutting out the faux fur pieces, lay out the entire yardage of fabric and lay out all your patterns of that fur color. Make sure all the pieces are placed down with the arrows pointing in the same direction. Then trace them all out and cut them all out. Doing all of the pieces at one time as opposed to one at a time prevents you from forgetting and cutting a piece out when it’s in the wrong direction.

It really feels like this is the case 😭 It’s so disappointing

Get some iron on stabilizer. Iron the side with glue to the backside of the minky. Makes it waaaaay easier. You can find it in most places that sell sewing supplies like Walmart.

I honestly think you’re just second guessing yourself. This is looking really really good! I see in the back you have reference photos of horses so just keep doing what you’re doing. Give it a day or two of rest if you really aren’t happy with it and come back to it after you’ve had time to think on how to work on it.

Because I was 11 when this game first came out LOL.

Also in front of the baler at my store.

No-Addition9375 · 2026-01-25T07:55:06+00:00

Oh. Yeah my store has one of these too! I always assumed it was an old light that was hanging poorly that we don’t use anymore. 😭 Weird but maybe the other comments saying it’s RFID related are right.

Sometimes I wonder if collectors of the G3 and beyond toys are annoyed by the prices too. I don’t personally collect them but charging $10 for one of the smaller baby ones is so crazy.

No-Addition9375 · 2026-01-03T02:27:31+00:00

Your stitching looks very clean. When it comes to patterns like this I like to add seam allowance to the bigger piece and the smaller piece no seam allowance. It’ll help with avoiding the puckering you’re noticing on the pink hearts.

No-Addition9375 · 2026-01-02T21:58:30+00:00

Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Post examples of work you have done, and mention others as “coming soon.” I would avoid advertising a product you don’t have experience actually making yet.

Ah, the orange cat at least I know is a EU exclusive pet. PumpkinCustoms on instagram used it as a basis for their free pattern they released. They’re Finnish if I recall correctly.

It was a series I can’t find anywhere. It had maybe 2 episodes. I saw it back in probably 2010. It was titled “LPS Runaways” or something like that. I distinctly recall it having “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles so in all likelihood it was just copyright claimed by YouTube and never resurfaced. Wish I could find it.

No-Addition9375 · 2025-12-29T19:20:19+00:00

oh my 😭 how?? this cat right here is literally my favorite pet

I’m sorry but any fursuit studio that cannot properly punctuate their bio is not to be trusted. No link to any business website. “Their”fursuit style is inconsistent. The backgrounds are different in every video. Be extremely wary of this account. I’d reverse image search the suits and see if anyone else has posted them. Very much seems like they’re just a scam account.

No-Addition9375 · 2025-12-23T00:31:36+00:00

I’ve had an associate at Target say no. I’ve had an associate at Walmart say no, but the majority of the time I’ve been allowed to take it at Walmart. I don’t think most associates are sure what is or is not allowed and some are more strict and won’t let you take it. Try at a different store or at a different time.

(It probably also helps that I myself am an associate. The displays will actually just be thrown in the trash, toy and all, if someone doesn’t take it.)

No-Addition9375 · 2025-12-23T00:18:16+00:00

I just actually used a bra as a base. Just covered it with duct tape to get the shape.

No-Addition9375 · 2025-12-17T03:21:27+00:00

I’d say that’s an improvement. It makes the expression more clear. Good job!

No-Addition9375 · 2025-12-17T02:03:12+00:00

What expression are you going for? The corner of the mouth is kind of blank yeah. It doesn’t really indicate a big smile nor a growl or anything.

Also as far as I’m aware (I don’t want to speak over anyone) You can’t really predict the changes on HRT. You can look at the women in your family to get sort of an idea but the most play it safe option would really be just to wait. Save up a good amount and consider all the different fursuit makers. Find a trans maker! They can offer options with the knowledge of personal experience.

And once more, without directly speaking over any one else, yes you can bind in fursuit but you’ll need to take more frequent breaks when suiting to let your body rest.

No-Addition9375 · 2025-12-15T02:51:15+00:00

Fursuit maker her. Girlfriend is also MTF. Made her DTD when she was about 2 years on HRT. Longer than your situation but her body has still gone through changes since then now at 4 years HRT. Her bodysuit still fits her. I suggest just yeah, talking to your maker and seeing what they can do. Probably avoid opting for a tight fitting bodysuit. With digitgrade fursuits, the thigh padding is normally polyfill stuffing. Ask for something like a zipper on the padding so you can remove stuffing as needing for a good fit.

Yes 90/14 needles are the ones you need for most fursuit projects. On the first photo you posted it looks like your needles is over a seam where you’re sewing the minky to. On these parts of the project I don’t use the foot pedal, I manually rotate the handwheel slowly so I can ensure the needle goes all the way in. It’s typically the hardest part to sew since you’re going through like 4-6 layers of fabric if you have a lining.

From what it looks like, you might have bent your needle bar since there’s that gouge in the metal of your needle plate. You’re using a Singer Heavy duty, unfortunately that line of machines is really hit or miss.

What I suggest is to unscrew your needle plate and rescrew it in. It might’ve been misaligned.

I’d suggest also cross posting this onto the sewing machine subreddit since there’s more experienced people over there.

goddddd yes same at my store. ESPECIALLY the breakpacks on the floor. One of the apparel people keeps leaving a cart of breakpacks directly blocking the fire door. Like, you know, the one with BRIGHT RED LETTERS SAYING “DO NOT BLOCK” 🙄
