Pattern Corrections & Suggestions

• Stuffing Issues: Ensure you gently stuff the cherries without overfilling, which can cause uneven shapes. Firmly secure decreases to close the cherries neatly.
• Leaf Curling: If the leaf curls excessively, steam block it using a damp cloth and an iron (low heat).

Pro Tip

For an elegant finish, consider accentuating the cherries with small beads or embroidery details, such as tiny white specks or stitching veins on the leaves.
