Tips
- Stuff firmly but not so much that stitches stretch.
- Invisible join and decrease techniques give a neat finish.
- Use a contrasting color stitch marker for each round's start.

Finishing and Final Words
After assembly, double-check all pieces are firmly attached.
If using as a child's toy, ensure all small/sewn-on pieces are secure. Gently squeeze and roll the duck to shape it perfectly.
