The beard threads themselves need to be secured with knots: fold the thread in half, hook it under the post outward, pull the free ends through the formed loop and tighten. I use the second row of the beard to make it thicker. Use the colored mats as a guide. rkers.
When the beard is ready, you need to sew on the nose, ears, glue on the eyes (if they are not inserted earlier), embroider the eyebrows.
Sew the nose 1 row above the beard. With Alize Softy thread, embroider the eyebrows directly above the eyes. Do not try to embroider them higher, because then they will hide under the cap.
