Where can I find an online tutorial on sewing/embroidery faces on stuffed animals/plushies?

Question

I am in the process of making some stuffed animal plushies and cant find a tutorial on how to sew on the faces. I dont know how the end of the thread is hidden.

If someone could link me some good sites (with pictures) that would be awesome.

Thanks

Don't happen to know of a tutorial, but you can end embroidery

stitches by a couple of short backstitches, then push the needle and thread further into the toy and back out again, putting a bit of tension on the thread.  Clip flush with the surface and the thread ends will hop back inside, "buried" in the toy.

Rather detailed common stitch tutorials:

(and pad your satin stitch with something... I usually use chain stitch with an outline stitch around it before satin stitching.  Looks much richer.)
