I can't see a final stitching around the edge but with the bottom left open for the finger and I can't see it working as a puppet without being stuck on a finger. I've enlarged and highlighted the different colour changes to see if I can see a final stitchline.
Can someone let me know if there is one and if there isn't one how can we make this design fit on a little finger?
I really want to make these puppets!!!!

Yes, Alma ... I also liked a lot!
I believe that just put a fabric lining behind.
Got it? a hug and miss.

Hi dilceia - yes, I thought that if there was no final stitch to attach a backing of felt under the hoop, then perhaps a piece of elastic sewn across the back of the puppet might work.

If there is no outline stitch, think out of the box.
Remove your embroidery hoop and sew another piece of felt on with the sewing machine.

Yes, I've thought of that but I think I'd rather use my 3D editing program to fiddle the Colour 2 and stitch that as the last colour without the bottom stitching.
Of course, it would need to be done with every design but that's no trouble for such delightful puppets.

Just downloaded the number one, no outline stitch.
Actually the first stitch is the outline of the number with a zig zag following. Than the rest of the design. So in my opinion, not a good representation of a finger puppet unless you remove the finished item and sew with regular machine.
1.75in wide x 3.19in long

It's a design in the shape of a finger puppet, not a design to make a finger puppet. Colour 2 is the black outline, but that does not start at the bottom of one of the sides, so stitching that colour last and skipping the bottom takes some very careful watching and stopping your machine and restarting at the other side.

Easy fixed Alma,
just SKIP the second colour,
finish the rest of the design,
remove the hoop from the machine
attach some felt on the UNDER side of the design, place the hoop back on the embroidery arm
stitch out the second colour
Easy
OR............
If you have a digitising program, select the second colour segment and move it to stitch out last
Hope this helps, will check the next one when it comes up if you need me to
NOPE, these suggestions won't work because of where the satin outline starts and ends, it would need to be changed.
I'm sure Miss Veronika won't mind me helping anyone who REALLY wants these to stitch out as finger puppets, but only if the person PROVES that they already have the designs.
I will write and ask her, she may even make the alterations herself.
Hugs n roses, Meganne

That's what I noticed. Easy enough to remedy in Embird, or digitise a seperate outline - without that it's tricky.
I made one already, after splitting colour 2 and leaving that to be stitched last.
Thanks, Meganne and Martine, for giving me that help and prodding my memory ..... I can use my 3D program to edit out the bottom stitching from the 2nd Colour and use it at the end of the design, even leave the first Colour 2 in and stitch over it with the edited Colour 2 at the end for extra strength at the sides - I've done that before.
Do you think Veronika would mind that??
I have used elements of her designs, one design flipped to mirror itself and then attached to another of her vertical designs to make embroidery on my denim pants legs and pockets. They made a very elegant addition to my $4/metre pants, too.

Hi Alma, I wrote to Miss Veronika and she has given me permission to make those alterations if you wish.
here is Miss V's response:
...................................................
"Good day, Meganne. Okay :)) Im agree, you made the alterations of these files. I would really appreciate your help. I may to send you all files, that you need, just let me know.
You can send the modified files to Almag, I trust you, my friend.
Please feel free to contact me if you require additional assistance, I like your suggestions:))"
....................................................
The one proviso for anyone wanting these altered designs is that they need to send me each design as it proves they/you already have it, and I am not sharing because I too am downloading each one as it becomes available.
So feel free if you wish to avail yourself of this offer.
hugs and roses, Meganne

I'm glad you asked the question Alma!Altering the outline is a 10 minute job - I love the results. Stitching out #2 now - the series will be finished just in time for my GD's birthday - so I'm quite happy!
