Impromptu tutorial that nobody asked for! Yay!
I noticed earlier that my scorbunny had a loose thread in his embroidery! So I did some eye surgery to fix it. Instead of just trimming the thread, I used a needle to pull it back in. It looks neater than trimming, and if the thread could possibly unravel further, pulling it in will prevent that. C:
In order to pull in a loose thread, it takes just a few simple steps!
To illustrate the steps, I gave scorbunny a fake "loose thread" in a visible color. This method works the same way no matter where the thread is!
First, thread a needle with a loop of thread.
Insert the needle into the fabric as close as you can to the loose thread. Then push the needle partially through so the eye is close to the fabric and the point has come out through the fabric a little bit away from the entry point.
Put the thread loop over the loose thread, and use the other end of the looped thread to pull the thread through the eye of the needle.
Then, pull the needle out! The thread will disappear into the plush and you won't be able to see it anymore :) If you did this method on an embroidered part of a plush, you can use a toothpick to apply a tiny, TINY dot of super glue or fabric glue where the thread was, to keep it from coming back out. On longer loose threads this isn't necessary, but if the thread was smaller it's not a bad idea! But be really careful doing it though, getting super glue on fabric where you don't want it really sucks 💔
