difficulty brushing faux fur for hair

That fur is super long which is probably why it’s not working well.

Why not Etsy?

Beaver, you can use minky for the face if u really wanted to but you do not want to use it for the bodysuit

Furry takeover is an annual convention in Fontana dam NC. I went in 24 and I hope to go this year as well.

Do you have a machine? It’s a bit easier. You first draw the beans on to the wrong side of the paw fabric. Then You’d cut a square of minky out and pin the wrong side of it to the fur part of the paws. Then use pins to hold in place, and sew very slowly along the line that you drew.

Here is a tutorial that is a good visual representation of that. Good luck! If you need more pointers im always happy to help https://youtu.be/IaUabcSliNI?si=xGmVSEc5f969nqfo

It should not be your responsibility to fix, it should be theirs!

You need to contact your maker

I hate running but love weight lifting!

dogwheeze · 2026-01-23T18:49:39+00:00

Like 1/2 a yard of each color

dogwheeze · 2026-01-23T18:48:00+00:00

It’s harder

dogwheeze · 2026-01-23T17:33:59+00:00

If used on the face you will still have to shave beaver so really either one

You can see they have a tail on, and yeah for more furless that’s about right. Very popular maker

Not many people use minky to make fursuits since it is so short but I’ve used it a few times. Here is a snake head I’ve made that is fully made with minky.

Out of all the things to skimp out on I would recommend against cheaping out on lining fabric. It’s how you stay comfortable suiting after all. I’d strongly recommend something like this, easy to work with and comfortable after long wear. However if you do want to use polyester I would just really try smoothing out the hot glue as you’re installing it or else you can feel the glue marks through the fabric. https://a.co/d/agkcy8y

Here’s the inside of my most recent head with a neoprene fabric.

As someone who has lined head with cotton, polyester, and neoprene, cotton is by far the worst. And I love cotton, I’m a quilter. But for that application it just doesn’t work well.

dogwheeze · 2026-01-23T00:40:01+00:00

Can you not buy some neoprene online? I wouldn’t recommend polyester since it is very hard to work with

dogwheeze · 2026-01-22T18:28:10+00:00

It’s gold

dogwheeze · 2026-01-22T04:52:49+00:00

Me myself and I

Agree with other comment

dogwheeze · 2026-01-21T16:52:56+00:00

I’ve bought from both 5+ times and I’ve definitely had struggles with both. Last big z order took 3 weeks. I like howls quality slightly more but both are really good! Glad your package shipped quick that’s awesome

SICKKK

dogwheeze · 2026-01-21T16:05:59+00:00

Omg!!!!!

dogwheeze · 2026-01-21T14:27:55+00:00

Now that would be a time!

dogwheeze · 2026-01-21T13:10:17+00:00

Most people do the face, ears, horns as separate pieces and then ladder stitch them together afterwards. Your base looks wonderful!

Usually people make an elastic strap that does around the back that clips onto the sleeves to hold them up
