June of Planet June has a new video showing her trick for secure stitching on amigurumi faces. She’s even demonstrated it in left and right-hand versions, so it’s easy to follow for anyone.
It’s easy to hide the ends in the exposed stuffing if you’re stitching onto an open-ended piece, but not as obvious when you have to embroider onto a piece that’s already closed up, leaving you with no hidden place to start from. It’s especially important to fasten the ends securely if your amigurumi will be played with – you don’t want that cute face to get snagged on something and unravel!
