Hello everyone! I started to get interested in making puppets after watching a video on Expert village by Lewis. I have a question. I have a hard time sewing around my puppets fingers on a sewing machine. I have a hard time turning to sew around the arches of the finger patterns. They come out squarish because the sewing machine sews straight. Any help?

You need to sew very slowly for something like this. 
Take 1 - 2 stitches at a time, and lift the pressure foot to turn your hand a very little bit.  This way, you will turn the corner gradually, instead of a straight / pointed turn.  Some sewing machines even have a slower speed...might be a HUGE help in this case, until you get used to it!
Hope that helped a little bit!
