With all that out of the way, I don’t think I will ever do a plush this big ever again. A lifesized plush is one thing, but this one pushed the limits of my equipment, materials, and space. The eyes barely fit on the embroidery machine, and even then I had to compromise some design choices because what I wanted to do wouldn’t fit at this size. The individual pieces are so big that they took up the entire width of the minky fabric bolt, so there was a ton of inefficient patterning to make her. And most importantly, she was simply too big for me to easily work on and slowed my entire operation to basically a standstill. I usually have a spot where I can move a plush while I’m patterning or what have you, but she was way too big to fit. Like, she’s too big to set on a 3 person couch even without her having to bend all awkwardly.
Anyways, I thank everybody for being patient while I finished up this huge project, the plushies I have coming up should be much more manageable.
