This is my second attempt at one of Smart Needle's finger puppets. For my first attempt I used 2 layers of Trick Film to give a clean edge but it was a terrible disaster with gaps all over the design. I emailed them and they recommended 1 layer of medium weight tear away for every 7,000 sts, so I tried again with 2 layers of tear away as he has 12,091. The result is better although a small part of his mane has been missed by the outline stitches. However, I'm not happy with his hairy look. Any ideas please?

I find the tearaway that sorta feels like a heavy paper leaves a cleaner edge. I get mine thru the shop where I got my machine. But I think, maybe Florini carries it. There's a "heavy tearaway" and a "soft heavy tearaway." Give that a try.

The first lot of tear away I bought was heavy paper and it tore away clean but I can't seem to get it anymore. I'm in England and everything I buy has to be mail order so it's rather taking the firms word for it all the time. *

Could you use a WSS instead? And then all you would have to do is use a damp sponge to dissolve the WSS left on the sides. I almost always use WSS on every thing I make.
Or if you have a woodburning tool you could carefully burn away the excess stabilizer, I've used this trick many times.

You could take a permanent marker, using the same colors of the edging, so all you need is brown & yellow

Have you tried using wash-away stabiliser, like Vilene. You cut it back close to the puppet and remove the remainder with a wet sponge. No fluffy white tear-away remnats!
