- Adjust the position and alignment before fixing them permanently.
- Embroider the mouth carefully, taking your time to adjust the shape and tighten the yarn as needed.
Finishing:

- The round shape of Kirby’s body should be well-stuffed, and all components should be securely attached for the plushy to hold up well.
