I recently purchased 9 of these teddy bears to do for all the kids in the family for Christmas. I wanted to use the 5×7 hoop and make larger pictures plus personalize adding each child’s name. So I did this by removing the stuffing in the head also. Then I hooped everything; stabilzer, bear and topping. They were difficult to get hooped but with patience it can be done and they turned out adorable. I’m anxious now to see the kids open them. Each had a theme – one child played football for the first time this year so his had a football player on it with his team colors, others were soccer players, the two girls are in high school so I put cheerleaders on theirs in their school colors. Great gift ideas!
Hi Gayle,
What a great way to personalize teddy bears for the children in your family! It sounds like each bear was customized perfectly to suite each child. If you have not wrapped your teddy bears up, we would love to see pictures to share on the blog. Thanks for taking the time to share your success and give us tips on using a larger hoop!
Happy Sewing,
Annalee
