Tips

Cutting the patchwork & sponge foam

The diameter is flexible, you can adjust it from 8-10 cm. Just don’t forget to add seam allowance on patchwork, while for sponge foam, no need to add seam allowance when cutting it. Just cut exactly on the drawing line.

Attach the smooth surface of the velcro on cushion

We suggest to attach the smooth surface of the adhesive velcro to avoid itchiness on the hand when using it.

Step 12 (install the elastic) and step 15 (stitching on wool thread) are switchable

You can switch step 12 with step 15 if you felt that the elastic position is making the stitching process of the wool on cushion harder. 

Only half part of the adhesive velcro attached on the cushion

We suggest to attach only half part of the adhesive to make velcro position more flexible yet also not reduce the adhesion of thee velcro.
