ENJOY MY GLORIOUS CHIPPED NAIL POLISH. Blame the sewing machines. They always ruin my nails. Anyway, this is how the furriers do it. Now you guys can be pros~!


Side note: in this tutorial I'm stitching FAKE fur. I think real fur would work the same way, since leather doesn't have a grain, but to be safe I'm going to say test it with scraps first.

I have a question that hopefully you can answer. I'm pretty new to sewing (I'm making plushies), and when sewing with fur, I always end up clogging my sewing machine with it and spending more time cleaning that out than actually sewing. Are there any tricks that will keep the fur from clogging the machine? Am I doing something wrong?

Mostly the way you're stitching it is the problem. Sewing it like this is going to help immensely. Also cutting it properly will help (I'll be doing a tut on that as well). Basically though you need to cut it with a razor or a box cutter or something with a blade, NOT scissors. If the problem continues you need to actually cut off the fur within the seam allowance and stich it that way. Like I said, eventually I'll do a tutorial with pictures, but honestly just stitching it correctly should help a lot.

No problem. I have a teacher that's been in costuming for over 30 years, and she taught me this trick. I figured no one else knew about it or else I wouldn't see so many people wasting time picking fur out of the seam after they stitch it << Give it a quick brush after you stitch the seam and you should be good to go.
