Hello Olivia,
Were you able to solve your top heavy head issue? I just finished the body and attached to the head and just flops over :(. I followed the previous suggestion to stuff firmly, but it did not help. It also overstretched the stitching and you can see the stuffing. Why other suggestions are greatly appreciated :(
Hi Crotchetfun88, did you follow the other advice?
here's some other tips, if that doesn't work:
- You could try sewing around the neckline twice, the extra stitches give some added strength.
- You can add a folded pipe cleaner (or even regular wire) to the neck, pushing the ends through the head where you'll attach it. If you want to be extra safe, fold and wrap the ends with yarn or tape.
