Question 1

What are your plushes made of?

Accepted Answer

All of my plushes are made from Shannon brand Cuddle 3 minky. This is the top of the line material and is a very soft and luxurious, short-pile (3mm) faux fur. They are stuffed with polyester fiberfill, with foam used for some details that can't be stuffed normally. Beanies also contain polyester pellets.

Question 2

How do you make the eyes/details/embroidery?

Accepted Answer

Eyes, facial features, and some other details are done with machine embroidery. I am currently using a combination of Procreate and Stitch Era digitizing software to create embroidery files, which are then stitched by a Brother PR1055X embroidery machine.

Question 3

Can I commission you for plushes I can then stock and sell in my shop? (Wholesale)

Accepted Answer

I'm going to go with no on this one, at this moment in time. While I am able to offer high-quantity embroidery services, I am a one-woman show, and each plush you order could take up to two weeks to complete. In a month's time, I would only be able to make two, assuming I have no other orders. I would not offer a bulk discount, and I would still charge my normal rates per plush. For 10 plushes, you could expect to pay a minimum of $3,000.

Also, I prefer to keep the plush toys I create limited to my own shop.

If you are an independent creator looking to make merch of your character, I may be able to assist with creating a plush prototype and signing over all commercial rights to the pattern. Please contact me to discuss details. Commercial rights start at $5,000.

Question 4

Do you sell your patterns?

Accepted Answer

At this time, I do not. However, as I create new and improved patterns, I may make the old ones available for purchase.

Question 5

Do you make kits?/Can you send it unstuffed?/Can I commission a partially done plush?

Accepted Answer

At this time, I only offer fully completed plushes. Kits may be available in the near future.

Question 6

Can I make changes to the plush after you've started?

Accepted Answer

No. Once the plush has been started, I will not allow changes to the pattern unless it's a detail I missed. You cannot change the size, pose, or major details of your plush once we've agreed on a price, as these things do change what I'd quote you, and I would have to begin again from scratch.
