Needles used for toymaking will be found in any sewing box at
home, except for one special needle which will be necessary for
sewing on the eyes. A 3" long darning needle will do the job well
and it is thin enough to avoid tearing the fabric.
The tools required for toymaking are: an ordinary domestic
sewing machine, wire-cutting pliers, also a pair of small round-nosed
pliers for bending wire, a bradawl—a useful tool to help with
inserting glass eyes and also removing fur pile caught in the seams
during machining—and finally a stuffing stick, obtainable from
Messrs. Dryads of Leicester.
