1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Limhwa ToYou discussion part 1

Apr 17, 2006

    1. Hi I was figuring out where to go about this?
      Restringing ToyouSara 27cm.
      What size elastic? How much of it do you need? Is it hard due to smaller body cavity size? Has anyone attempted this yet?
      May not need the new elastic but asking just in case:) Thanks!
       
    2. I used 2.0 mm elastic to restring my ToYou. I don't know exactly how much I used--I eyeballed the loops--but I'm guessing that each loop was a foot to a foot and a half of elastic. (I string my dolls using a separate loop for each leg, but that's just my personal preference.)

      All in all, I think restringing tinies is easier, just because they are smaller, the elastic is weaker, and I don't have to pull nearly so hard. Actually getting the elastic through the holes can be a pain, yes. I recommend making a 'threading needle' out of a couple of feet of reasonably-thin wire: bend the wire into a 'V' shape, hook the 'V' through the elastic, squeeze the ends of the wire together, and poke the ends into one end of the doll's body part and out the other. Then grab the wire and pull the elastic through. ... I hope that makes sense!
       

    3. Thank you so much!! Useful information about the 2mm elastic. I'll look up how to eye elastic length. :)
