Can someone tell me the best way to do these stitched out "paperdolls"? Thanks you guys always have the know how!

Great question, Thanks so much for asking it.

GLAD YOU ASKED, SURE IS A QUESTION FOR ME TOO!

I hoop a stiff stabilizer (Peltex) - the type often used in purse and fabric bowl making --- stich the doll then cut access away carefully. Make the clothes using a light weight stabilizer and then trim. Then I use Aileens Tack it over and over - use a sponge brush and paint it onto the backside of the clothing. Let dry then do a second coat. Now you the clothes will "stick" over and over again to the doll. If at some point it fails to stick just re-apply another layer of glue and let dry! They turn out very cute!

Do you have an alternative name for the tack it, or a gernaric name Sllakin?? Thanks

Sorry, I spelled the name wrong - correct name is "Aleene's Tack it over and over" - and no, I do not know of another glue like it, sorry.

Hi Newborn, I too want to hear about this, I keep looking at the designs I have, all freebies, and put off making any!!

I also have some designs but have not tried them I am glad you ask I am wondering how to put the clothes on them.

Someone will help I'm sure. I have never stitched any out although I do have some designs. I think they would b very entertaining to a child. *
