Step 6Turning and stuffing the arms and legs.
Fleece is a very forgiving fabric when it comes to turning - but be careful! Don't push or pull too hard - you could bust the stitches. This can take a little while and that's okay.
Use a chopstitck, pair of tweezers, closed tips of scissors, etc. to help you push out all the edges.
Once your arms and legs are turned, you'll need to stuff. I'm using fiberfill for mine. You'll want to fill the arm up to the shoulder, and the legs up to about 1/4 inch from the top. Fill as little or as much as you want. More filling will cause the arms and legs to have more shape but they'll also be harder.

Stuffing Tips:
- use a little at a time.
- stuff the end of the object away from the opening first so you can make sure that end is filled in before moving on.
- don't push too hard when stuffing, you'll run the risk of distorting the fabric and stitches.
- remember that you can slightly shape the object if it looks lumpy. Just give it a bit of a massage. :)
