Lion Brand Yarn

He was supposed to be one half of a set of Amigurumi Valentine love birds from Lion Brand Yarn http://ow.ly/14BH8 (you have to register to see the free patterns.  Sorry.  They do have some nice ones, though.  It’s worth it).  He looks more like Jason from the movie Halloween to me.  Pretty much creeps me out.  Not even going to try his partner.
I like this Amigurumi.  Literally stumbled across it yesterday.  Had never heard of it before.  I’ve seen lots of cute little animals I’d like to try.  Lion even has a free pattern for the cutest  African Violet, pot and all.  http://ow.ly/14BRm
I stuffed Jason with polyfil.  I don’t like how it shows through.  Seems that would get annoying with stuffing coming out as time goes by.  Anyone have any alternatives for stuffing?  Or did I just use the wrong gauge?  Frankly, I only have two needles to my name, so gauge isn’t really a consideration while I’m playing around with this crochet.
