• Use stitch markers to track rounds
• Color accuracy matters: Ensure turquoise/cyan is bright, not pale blue
• Take your time with Geppetto’s mustache and eyebrows — they’re defining features!
• Size ratio is important: Pinocchio should be approximately 65-70% of Geppetto’s height
• Photos of your progress can help you adjust proportions as you work
