ASSEMBLY
Let's start working on the expression: eyes, nose, mouth and ears
Embroider the nose on center top of muzzle. Embroider mouth shape with straight stitches. Place the muzzle on the head with a pin. Place the eyes with pins. Make changes until you find the desired look. Sew the eyes. Start and finish on the place where the muzzle will be to hide the knots. Place the ears with pins and sew them. Hiding the knots the same way. Finally sew the muzzle to the face, leaving a small opening. Stuff the muzzle and close the opening.
Jointing the Bear
Using dental floss, follow the diagram for jointing first the arms and head. Next do the legs jointing.

Using a long needle and dental floss, insert the needle through the body at the arm placement leaving the long ends hanging free exiting on the top of the body. A small stitch will be taken through the base of the head. Insert the needle through the body just slightly away from the previous stitch, exit at the other arm placement, take a small stitch through the arm, insert again the needle through the body, near the previous stitch, exit at the other side of the body, near the first stitch, take a small stitch through the arm. Remove the needle, pull both dental floss ends until you feel the head and arms are firmly attached to the body and knot the ends together securely, pulling arms and head against the body. Thread the ends on the needle and bury in the body stuffing.

Do the same to joint the legs. Just follow the diagram.
