Keep the iron moving in circles β never park it in one spot. Cover with parchment paper, iron one side, flip carefully, iron the other.
Fuzzy look? Iron slightly less on the pegboard side, then texture with a towel while still warm.
Background: Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog is Sega's mascot and one of gaming's most iconic characters, created in 1991 to rival Nintendo's Mario. Known for his supersonic speed, blue spikes, red sneakers, and cocky attitude, Sonic has starred in over 60 games, multiple animated series, and a blockbuster film franchise. His design β blue spiky head, peach-colored face, and distinctive green eyes (added in 1998's Sonic Adventure) β is instantly recognizable. The franchise has sold over 1.5 billion units including mobile downloads.
Design Notes: 12Γ12 Pixel Composition
This 12Γ12 grid (110 beads) uses 5 colors: blue for the iconic spiky head and ears, peach for the muzzle, white for the eye whites, green for the irises, and black for the pupils and nose outline. The challenge lies in placing the spikes correctly β they should point backward and upward in a fan pattern to capture Sonic's sense of speed and motion.

Ironing Tips
- π‘Medium heat only β too hot and the beads over-melt and lose shape; too cool and they won't fuse.
- π‘Keep the iron moving in slow circles β staying in one spot melts that area flat.
- π‘Iron both sides and press under a heavy book while cooling to keep it flat.
