\nThank You Mimi for the great explanation of my invisible Jointing method. It is such a great method for jointing and safe for children.
\nSafety for children was what made me invent it in the first place. I had a doll and craft shop in Idaho, and a customer came in and was exclaiming over the dolls, but would not buy on because the covered buttons were on the outside of the limbs. (I covered them with the dolls skin fabric so they didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t show much)
\nShe said they were dangerous\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6soooo\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.a bit of serious thinking transpired, inside they went, and WOW! What a better way to do it, unless the buttons are for decoration of course.
\nMimi, your Emma Rose bears no resemblance to the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153real\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Emma Rose\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.WOW! what an adaptation! A combination of a Vintage style with contemporary. Love It!
\nI hope all who try the inside jointing will persevere through the part where you are pulling the joints tight\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.That is the hardest part as Mimi says. I have done it for so many years (1975 or 76) that don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even think about it,,,,but here is a hint\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6Pull, press the dolls body with the thumb on your right hand without letting up at all on the pulling. Then with the cords in the left hand do the quick wrapping between the body and limb, \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6Then tie\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6
\nIt is the Pressing down on the body that makes it a one person job. BUT\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6If you have a second person, they can press the joint area down after you pull, for the same result.
