Hi clairesbears! I have considered it, yes, but am afraid that it would come off if peeled. They would have to be very small letters, since nearly a sentence has to go on each pawpad.

SueAnn - I might have to try a few variations of markers. I'm a bit worried about the pen bleeding into the fabric (spreading out) - are there any types of suede/pen combinations that anyone can recommend?  bear_happy

Hello all! I'm a longtime lurker, and have made 80 stuffed animals (only 3 teddy bears), and this is my first post. I've searched the forums, and haven't found anything like this yet.

I want to make a teddy bear as a gift for a child, with a written message on the bottom of each faux suede pawpad to the child.
For a bear that will hopefully be around for a long time, how would you all recommend to write a message that will not fade? Is stitching it by hand or machine over pen the best way?

Thank you for your help! bear_original
