Hi, i’m using safety eyes instead of beads, could you tell me which row to attach them as i have to do it before i finish the head. thanks
I do not understand, when it says free download PDF it takes me to the store?
Hi Sandra 🙂 You can view the patterns for free on our website and mobile app. PDF version itself is not free. Because it takes a lot of time to prepare the patterns. So, in spite of this fact all people who can’t pay for PDF patterns can view them on the website and make wonderful toys. We don’t hide the instructions. Hope for your understanding 🙂
