Hi there! Is there any way of purchasing this gorgeous little giraffe pattern without becoming a member?

  Two options. You can buy a one-month membership, which will allow you to download the giraffe, or add your name to our email list, and we will announce when our “pay-per-project” is ready for you. Soon! 🙂

  Can you tell me where it says the template is free? We have not published this information, so I am guessing it is on a clickbait site. If you can give me the URL, I will ask them to remove it.

Benzie no longer carries Cantaloupe-colored felt. Can you suggest an alternative?

  Hi Liz. Krista just went in and updated all of the felt colors. We actually sell felt in our own shop now. 🙂

Hi, Would it be possible to have a video showing precisely the different stitches you use? I’ve watched the felt 101 video but we don’t see up close, and if you are not a native speaker it’s a bit hard to follow 🙂
Also, I am a bit lost on the giraffe, from step 11. Do you sew the horn and one side, and then the ears? From step 11 it goes very fast, in my view, and it could use a few added extra steps for clarity…!
Thank you for your help / advices!

I’m sorry if I didn’t clarify on my question. What type of stitching do yall use. For example, french knot, back, chain, stem, or satin.

  @Marisol
  
  Hi! We used a blanket stitch for the overall construction, and whip stitches for the spots. The ears were sewn with short straight stitches near the base to secure.

  Hi Patricia! We don’t have that option at this time. You can always sign up for a monthly membership, then cancel after you download the project (or before the month ends).

How do you getting 8 loops of dmc floss secured within the tail without the black floss slowing through the seam? either to much floss or tail felt not wide enough.

  @Deborah
  
  Try looping it one less time if it’s too stuffed to the point where it’s showing through the seam.

As an FYI – your pattern is a little off. Both the PDF and SVG call for 14 spots total (which would mean 7 for each side), but actually it should be 28 spots in total so each has 14. At least that’s what you have in your photos.
