Sewing up the mouth is rocket science.
I frogged maybe 4-6 rows of the tip at this stage. The point was too much.
Best advice is start from the tip of the (partially frogged) tongue and toward deep into the mouth. This method helps you learn how much of the sides of the mouth have to be sewn up. I believe that I had to sew up 5-6 stitches per side.
