Step 8Stuff your cube and handstitch seam
Fill the cube with stuffing
Now it is time to stuff your cube and sew up the final edge. I used pillow stuffing to stuff the Katrina Memorial Cube Sculpture. It took approximately 6 large bags of stuffing to fill the cube. When you are done you will need to handstitch the opening where you stuffed the cube.
Pin the 6" opening closed
Use dressmaker pins to close the 6" opening that you left earlier when you were sewing the cube. When pinning, you should turn the seam allowances to the inside.
Sew a Blindstitch to Close Seam
Thread the needle with thread that is as long as the opening plus an additional 18 inches. This will help to insure that you have enough thread to complete the job and give you plenty of "working room." Use a color similar to the material.
Place the needle about a 1/2" above the beginning of the opening. Pull it through to hide the knot inside the seam. The idea with the blindstitch is to hide stitches.
