I can imagine how frustrating that can be and although I feel for you it is nice to know I am not the only one having problems. I have spent a couple of days now trying to embroider a nose,  I have taken it out 3 times so far.
You are on your second bear like me, right?
Just remember it is all practice for us beginners and just think of how amazing our bears of the future are going to be, so keep plunging on.
You have made me feel a lot better knowing we all stuff up and I am sure even the pros get it wrong sometimes.

And all is still not lost: Collect them! These are the ted heads which you practice scissor sculpting and shading or airbrushing, needle felting and a myriad of other techniques on before putting them on the heads which DO turn out right!!!

Emma, you didn't waste your time!!! The head might not look the way you want it to look, but you practised and now you know how it doesn't work.
And you never know, one day you might want to make a head that looks like the one you just made and then you know how to do it.
