How to Attach Chistery's Wings to Your Woobles

Quick answer

To attach Chistery's Wings to your Woobles, first position the wings on the back of your project, then sew them securely using the included materials and video tutorials. This guide walks you through each step for a neat, lasting attachment.

Step-by-step attachment guide

1. Position the wings: Lay your Woobles flat with the back facing you. Place one wing on each side of the back, roughly at shoulder height. Use pins or your fingers to hold them in place while you check the symmetry from different angles. Common mistake: placing wings too low or too far apart. They should sit just below the neck curve, not near the bottom.
2. Thread your yarn needle: Cut a length of matching yarn from the kit (about 12-18 inches). Thread it through the yarn needle and tie a small knot at the end. You will use this to sew the wings onto the body. Using too long a thread can cause tangles. Stick to arm's length or less.
3. Sew the first wing: Insert the needle from the inside of the wing through to the outside, then into the body of your Woobles at the marked spot. Make small, even stitches around the wing's base, going through both the wing and the body. Keep the stitches close together for a secure hold. If you pull the yarn too tight, the fabric will pucker. Aim for firm but not cinched stitches.
4. Secure and weave in ends: After completing the stitches, make a small knot on the inside of the body. Thread the needle through a few stitches on the inside to hide the tail, then trim any excess yarn close to the fabric. Skipping the weave-in step can cause the knot to come undone later. Take the extra 30 seconds.
5. Repeat for the second wing: Attach the second wing using the same method. Double-check that both wings are at the same height and angle before you finish the last stitches. Common mistake: attaching the second wing at a different angle. Compare both wings from the front and top before securing the final knot.
6. Final check and adjustments: Gently tug each wing to confirm they are secure. If one feels loose, add a couple of extra stitches. If the wings are not sitting symmetrically, you can carefully remove the stitches and reposition them. It is easier to adjust now than after you have woven in all the ends.
