5 out of 5 starsYou can't go wrong with Matrices! This technique (plus a new razor) has kept my fur silky smooth and even and was honestly a lifesaver. It blends together wonderfully without looking choppy, and there's a bunch of helpful tips included!

5 out of 5 starsLovely and very thorough pattern. The applique add-on was much appreciated! Ended up with a lovely pair for my friend that I slightly modified to add finger escapes.

5 out of 5 starsThe tutorial and information is deep and extremely informative - very thorough and love how much time and detail the author put into the PDF. Unfortunately I just don't LOVE the template itself. It makes a good pair of 5-finger paws (which are surprisingly hard to find good pairs of), but at the end of the day I'm just not loving the gloves I made. If you like the results you see the reviews, I wholeheartedly recommend this template. I just don't think the design is entirely for me. EDIT: I actually started playing around with the pattern a little more and started to enjoy it more after I added some TPU claws! I'm planning to revisit and experiment a little with this pattern and size it for myself a little better and I think this might actually be a pattern I thoroughly enjoy!

5 out of 5 starsOmg thank you for this!! I couldn’t figure out on my own how to logistically sew in finger webbing… but this method is very easy to understand and use.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get my digital download?
The files are immediately available to you upon confirmed payment through etsy itself.
You must get them via the browser or logged into a regular computer - not the app (the etsy app at time of writing doesn't seem to support digital downloads and that is not anything I have control over as the seller, sorry)! Via browser or via regular computer are the way to reliably get all your purchased files! Just be sure you are logged in with the same account you paid with!
Here's more info about digital downloads:
http://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/115013328108-Downloading-a-Digital-Item
Do I get the files emailed to me?
They are not emailed by me personally, no. However you will receive an automatic email from etsy about your purchase, you can get to the page to download the files from the link within your etsy receipt, should be from transaction@etsy.com
Follow your purchase link through etsy's email and allow it to open within the browser (not the app!) and be sure to log into the account you purchased it with, otherwise it will throw up a "no permission" error. This is since your files are located on the etsy account you purchased from!

I need some help with making my project!
I love to have the opportunity to assist if you get stuck following one of my tutorials! Send me an etsy message and I can do my best to help you troubleshoot your potential problem and help you out!
This also helps me write better tutorials in the future, since I will have an opportunity to see where I need to add more instruction to the guide you purchased!
If you need general help making fursuits (but it is not about a specific pattern or guide you purchased from me), I do have a Tutoring Tier on my Patreon. It is great way to support my endeavors and receive my guidance on a larger project you may be working on. https://www.patreon.com/Matrices
I also offer private tutoring for an hourly rate if that fits your needs better.
