Sunbeatle, I recommend you check out my pattern I sent you. Many of your questions are covered in it, including instructions for attaching the neck to the body and head. (Not to discourage the q&a here, just that it comes with pictures and may help)

I attach mine inside the body also, but so far I have used hook & loop tape to attach the neck to the lower edge of the body.  That way I can detach it if need be.

What don't you understand Sunbeatle Puppets about my video's......it would help me clarify things if they are unclear?  Could you help me with that?  I tried to make them very clear and straightforward.....but that may not be the case.

Daryl I understand your methods, snap bottons/ velcro rite?
I would just prefer i more permanent way of inserting the neck

OK good to know.....I wanted to clarify Kermit is a one piece puppet that means he does not have the tube through body like Miss Piggy.  One issue that people sometimes runs into with attaching the tube to the bottom (outside material) of the puppet is that the body becomes deformed or like it is trying to turn itself inside out.......if that makes any sense.  That is why it is suggested near the bottom but inside the puppet body.

yeah, i was thinking maybe glue in something else down there and then sew the tube to that, instead of sewing it to the outside material
