Can anyone give me some tips about this? Mine always seem lumpy and I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have polyester fibre filling which I tease out and stuff in gradually poking in with a chopstick but it never looks even. Thanks

    Hiya - stuff it in small amounts at a time and massage into shape as you are going along. I push the stuffing in tight as I am going along and keep shaping it. Once completely stuffed, massage and pull into shape.
