The second important work made by the women in the Needlework Room is the hand stitching of the nose, because by this work the Bear's face gets more and more its own life. The women use wool or cotton threads in different colours like brown, black or pink. Sometimes also multicoloured noses are stitched like the HERMANN-Coburg Artline Bears have them.

The old traditional Max Hermann Teddy Bear's nose is stitched horizontally. Still today this type is used for the most HERMANN-Coburg Teddy Bears. But in addition you will find today also many other different types of embroidery in the HERMANN-Coburg Teddy Bear collection like the vertical stitches.
Sometimes also the paws are stitched by hand with the old traditional claws. This depends on the character and also on the price of the Teddy Bear. This kind of work is called claws stitching.
The noses and also the claws of the Teddy Bear can only be stitched by the most skilled women. It needs about 1 year, till a women has the special feeling for the personality of a Teddy Bear to be able to stitch its nose.
