What do I use to fill arms and legs?

Recycling

Save the plastic bags from loaves of bread or the grocery store. When you have attached the arms and legs of your cloth body doll, stuff the arms and legs with the plastic. It adds weight and if you use an armature it will hold the armature in place and prevent it from slipping around inside and grating against the porcelain. This will also save money because you are not using the polyfill in spaces that no one can feel.
