    DeeBooper,
    I think they look like Babe, from the movie! Adorable. I do think they look better with the detail, and a pigma pen might be enough.
    I love pigs also. They are, indeed, very smart!

    This is so cute. I agree you need to add a tail.

    You have all the advice you needed and more! Your pigs are so cute. Do some of the easier suggestions and you will be fine. I love what you have done so far, and a little embroidered curly tail is all I would add. Good luck with your piggies. :-)

    awe those are cute !!!! put a blanket or zig zag stitch around them and a curly tail would be cute ,if you get really creative add a barn , fence , tree or something in the background!!
    but i think they are just as cute as can be !!

    Are you using the correct foot for satin stitch? Add a curly tail and your pigs are done. I think they are great.

    those are adorable just put a tail on and enjoy them. you're doing a great job. i collect pigs too and want to make when pigs fly over at fatcats. my kids got me a plate set of when pigs fly so i thought that would go together well.

    Piggies are darling, embroider a curly tail and use pigma pen for any other detail, I didn't see any mistakes either.

    the piggies are great. lots of good suggestions for tails.
    you might try a darker shade of the pig color for the body details. use stabilizer under the pigs & loosen the top tension for a good satin stitch. sharp needle. look in your machine manual for advice on good satin stitching. I think a very small blanket-stitch looks very effective also. You are going to have so much fun doing these little piggies !

    Heavy thread with a double knot and a pig tail hanging. Maybe even yarn
