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: Stitch (Experiment 626)
Stitch, also known as Experiment 626, is a fictional character from Disney's 2002 animated film Lilo & Stitch. Created by Dr. Jumba Jookiba as an illegal genetic experiment, Stitch is a small, blue, koala-like alien with superhuman strength and a mischievous personality. Despite being designed for destruction, he learns the meaning of family ("ohana") through his bond with Lilo in Hawaii. His big black eyes, wide mouth, and light blue fur make him one of Disney's most beloved modern characters.
Design Notes: 12Γ12 Pixel Composition
This 12Γ12 grid (96 beads) captures Stitch's face using just 4 colors. Light blue fills the face, dark blue defines the inner ears and eye accents, black creates the oversized eyes and mouth outline, and white highlights the teeth and eye shine. The oversized eyes are the focal point β they're deliberately proportioned larger than realistic to capture Stitch's expressive, innocent look.

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.
