If you want to emphasize the strip across the muzzle, then repeat the previous actions.

Embroider the stripes on the muzzle using black plush yarn.
Once the muzzle design is finished, tighten the hole with a tapestry needle, secure, and
break yarn.
Glue the artificial eyelashes to the eyes if desired. Embroider a stitch above the eye with
black yarn and under the eye with white yarn.

The sewing line is in the front, right after the white muzzle.
