Tail spikes

Tail spikes which include sewing pads at the base with big holes to help with stitching with thick fur. The pads also help hold the spikes up and out of the fur better than other attempts we made with just a spike. That assumes you are having a rather well stuffed tail to push out on the pad. If you have a less bulky tail, then these might not be the ones for you.
Highly recommend numbering them on the bottom. This not only helps with what the right order is, but helps when sewing the tail turned inside out to keep the seem correctly oriented for which side is the top and which is the bottom, so give your 1 a flag and or base and make your eight with a bigger bottom as well.
