"Hi, I am Candi Cane-Canncel with Expert Village. So in this clip, I am going to show you how to take your little arms and legs that you stitched around and turn them inside out and stuff them. So, the first thing you want to do after you finished sewing them is, you want to go around and trim down your seam allowance as close as possible. Definitely make sure to be careful not to cut in to the stitch line. Just want to trim any excess fabric away. Once you have done that, you take the top of it and you start turning it inside out and it is a little tricky. A little little difficult and you just have to be patient with it. Just start slowly pulling out the fabric. And I also found that if you use a little tweezers tool to grab on to it, sometimes that helps a little. It?s just because they are so long and skinny, it makes it just a little difficult. So you are going to go ahead do that for each of your four arms and once you have them all turned out, we will be ready to stuff them."
