Instructions for an “invisible seam”
When done with both letters, lay one on top of the other. You will be working
the “wrong sides” so if you want one color for the front and a different one for
the back, place the back color on top of the front color. Slip stitch or whip stitch

around. Leave a small opening to stuff fiberfill. Stuff firmly. Close opening.
For the seam shown above,
Lay M’s on top of each other and slip stitch around leaving a small opening for
the stuffing. Once firmly stuffed, close opening.
Enjoy.
