This is where the embroidery floss and needle come into play, and also why you left an open edge on the head and the body. Cut a length of floss about 12 inches long and thread the needle. Make a huge knot at the end.

Going through the hole in the body, push the needle through the middle torso seam about an inch away from where the arm is. Pull the floss through until the knot catches.

Now, take the head and line it up. Push the needle through as close to the edge and middle as possible. Take the needle through the bottom of the head about a 1/4th inch from where it came in and back down through the middle seam of the torso. Continue this 5 or 6 times and end with the floss inside the torso.

Flip the torso inside-out enough so that you can see the embroidery floss. Separate the strands (3 and 3) and tie them as you would a normal knot, tightening the floss as you do so. You don't want to see any once the head is on.
