If you're crocheting an amigurumi toy or any kind of doll, and the time to put on the face has come, should you do it before or after stuffing? I think it depends on which you find easier, but my recommendation would be to do it before stuffing -- that way, you have better control over placing the stitches and taking them out if necessary.
