Some final notes in case you really go for it:
I used black upholstery thread and a straight stitch on the machine. If you're scaling it up (and you probably should to make it easier, the pony is pretty small otherwise), the seam allowance on the pattern is no longer to scale, and should be largely ignored (so no need to trace it), except when doing the parts of the tail/mane where the seam allowance loops back and touches itself. I eyeballed those seams, but might have gotten better results with a line to follow. Cut between those seams *after* stitching to make turning the pieces right-side out possible.
Otherwise, if you traced and cut accurately enough, just keep the needle a *constant* 1/4" from the edge of the fabric and it should come out perfect. Don't be afraid to go slow, I ran the machine at its lowest speed for everything but the longest, straightest, runs.
If you make any mistakes, don't panic, you can always just use a seam ripper and try again, as long as you don't damage the fabric, the sewing should be the most forgiving part of the process.
