Thank you! You're very skilled at making pokemon plushies! Do you use a sewing machine or do you hand sew them? ^w^

welcome ^w^. and thank XD i have done equal of both. i have sewn a lot all by hand and some mostly by machine (also hand sew small parts though). i have noticed you hand sew a lot. do you have a sewing machine?

wow! that's impressive! was it hard to learn to use a sewing machine? yes, all my creations have been hand sewn so far, but that will likely change a bit in the future. i do have a sewing machine now, but...i'm afraid to use it, haha! well, actually, i don't currently have a good table space for practicing with it, but i am a bit anxious about it, too. sewing with a machine is a completely different method than hand sewing, so i have to relearn pattern making and other small details. i want to push myself to learn new things, though, and hopefully it will help speed up the process a bit, because hand sewing just takes so long. ; w ; i'll be practicing with it again soon, as a few practice patterns i recently bought are better suited to being done with a sewing machine than by hand. did you start out hand sewing or machine sewing? which do you feel is easier? ^w^

no its not to hard to learn, i started using one when i started sewing but then stopped using it for around a year then picked it up again. machine sewing s indeed a lot faster and the only changes i make then drafting a pattern is adding a larger seem allowance (it works for me at least). but don't be to nervous about it! just another step in plush making ^w^  (though i was nervous about just changing the fabric i used for a good year XD ). oh what patters did you get?? 
and i think for me hmmm both are pretty easy i would just say hand sewing takes a LOT longer but i still like doing it ^w^.

thank you so much for the encouragement! i use a whip stitch most of the time, which doesn't really deal with a seam allowance so much. or at least not in the same way. (there's nothing to clip in the corners, for example.) but i do look forward to getting back into practicing with the machine, and it's so good to hear from other plush artists who use them. ^w^ (it helps me feel less anxious, hehe.)

here are some of the patterns i want to try on my sewing machine:

the bear is actually quite tiny, but i enlarged both patterns so it'd be easier on the machine. the parts are simple, so i thought they'd be good for being new to sewing with a machine. i'm also excited to learn about traditional doll joints. ^w^

i'm glad you still like hand sewing. for me, it's like zen...the repetition is calming and i zone out completely, especially if there's music playing. i wonder if sewing with a machine will be as relaxing, hehe.

thanks again!

Thank you! I'd be happy to create a custom Fwox for you whenever you decide you'd like one. There's no rush, though, so please don't feel pressured. ^w^ I'm also happy to answer any questions you might have or just chat about plushies, life, etc, so don't be shy! You're welcome to send me a note here or a convo on Etsy any time!
