Stitching Notes for Royal Holiday Wisper thread - how do you brush it? 1. Use the hook side of velcro. 2. There's also the Nap Brush or what other would call a Bunko Brush. This is good for larger areas of brushing. With this brush you place it gently on the Wisper and give the brush a small twisting motion with your fingers. The more you do the fluffier it gets - you decide how fluffy you want it to be. I haven't used a baby toothbrush myself, so don't know if they brush this way or they just use a swiping motion. 3. I bought a baby toothbrush (batman!) and that's what I use. 10:57:16 PM    comment []
