Here is a quick tip:
When sewing the edges of the monster, use the buttonhole stitch. This stitch is easy to do and looks great when finished. To do this stitch, start by sewing the needle through the fabric from back to front. Bring the thread through the fabric, and then place the needle about a 1/4 inch from where you came through. Insert the needle, and loop the thread around the front of the needle before pulling it all through the fabric.
Once you have looped the the thread around your needle, pull the needle through the fabric and continue this step around your love monster.
