Okay, so I know that in my poll I said I would upload a tutorial for attaching manes and tails... And I still will! But I just thought that this would be a better tutorial to upload first, because you need to know how to do this in order to attach manes and tails.
Edit: An extension/part 2 of this tutorial can be found here, for attaching manes and tails to plushies using the ladder stitch: [link]


So. :XD: I give you... the ladder stitch, AKA the hidden stitch. This stitch is super important for any plushie maker - I use it often to close up manes and tails, and of course always use it to attach them.

So I hope this tutorial is helpful to you! And please keep an eye out for the second part of this mane & tail series, where I'll be teaching you how to attach manes and tails to the plushie (using the ladder stitch.)

Thanks for looking!

Not at the moment, but I hope to open up commissions soon. I'll post a journal when I do decide to open them, so keep an eye out :)

Both parts of this tutorial are extremely helpful--thank you so much for sharing! If I might ask, what kind of stitch did you use for the detailing on Pinkie's mane and tail? I'm having a hard time finding a stitch that looks good.

Aw, thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful! :D

And I used a split stitch for the detailing on Pinkie's hair :) Here's a link to show you how to do the split stitch: [link]

Good luck!

Ah, so it's done by hand--that's probably why it looks so good. :-) Hmm, I've already got my pattern pieces cut out and all; I guess I'll resort to some machine stitch this time around, but I'll be sure to give this a try on my next pony. Thanks for the help!

I'm working on my first pony, by the way, so I'm literally learning everything as I go. :D

Yep, all the details are sewn by hand. Although it takes so much longer that way, haha! :faint:

Anyway, good luck on your pony! :D
