I find fun fur a bitch to work with especially the bonded kind. The fibres
catch in the seams and you have distinct lines showing, also they fly all
over the place and get up your nose. I have found "polar fleece" (may be a
trade mark name) an excellent alternative. It comes in an incredible range
of colours and patterns and doesn't fray at the cut edge (no need to
overcast the seams)
