I am making a bear right now and was thinking about how I would make the eyes... Yes, eye placement and shape can make a friendly doll suddenly look evil, so I always audition the eye shape and position with little pieces of paper or felt. Thanks for the tutorial!

I have very limited sewing experience, and it's one of the many reasons why I've steered away from making some toys. Tips like these (especially place holder eyes) may encourage me to continue trying to get better. Thanks for the great tutorials, and all the comment tips have been awesome too guys!

I always get anxious when I have to put eyes on because they really determine how "friendly" the toy will look. I made a Sheldon and tried embroidering eyes but had a hard time making them round. They were more rectangular and made him look sinister. So I came up with another method for eyes that involves a felt round and embroidery floss. http://knitflix.blogspot.com/2007/01/eye-eye-sheldon.html For Sam, I cut out felt ovals and attached them with embroidery floss using the blanket stitch (like applique from the 70's). His eyes are very cartoon-y! http://knitflix.blogspot.com/2008/06/peek-boo_03.html Thank you for the tutorial!
