What to focus on
Compare the number of stitch positions used with the number of new stitches produced. An increase adds to the count, while a decrease reduces it. Pause between techniques and label your practice samples to keep the methods separate.
Practice with Andy
Play the video once to see the result, then replay it in short sections as you work. Keep a small sample nearby to test the technique before using it on your finished plushie.
