FAQs

1- are your plush commissions open?
You can check my commission's status on the "commission info page"

2- How do I know when they'll open again? 
I post a journal journal on Deviantart, post an update on this blog, and send out an e-mail to those on my mailing list to announce my commissions opening. I usually post a notice a few days ahead.

3- Do you take Deviantart point commissions?
Sadly points cannot pay my fabric, so therefore I can't accept point commissions.

4- How do you make patterns?
I learned how to make patterns by studying patterns that were available for free online and by starting small and simple then working my way up to more complex projects. 

5- Can you give me your patterns?  
Sadly I don't give away my patterns. A lot of hard work goes into them, and most of them don't even fit in my scanner anyways. I do plan on creating some tutorials in the future.

6- That much for a plush toy???
Handmade plush toys are usually much more expensive than the manufactured ones you buy in stores because a lot more work, time and care goes into each of them. 

7- What fabric do you use and where do you get it?
I use minky smooth, which I order from here: [link]


8- What embroidery machine and software do you use?
I use a Baby Lock Ellure plus, and I use Stitch Era Universal to convert my drawings into embroidery designs.

9- are you open for trades?
I love trades, but since my plush commissions are paying the rent at the moment I sadly can't accept trades because I'm too busy working on commissions.


10- do you sell non-commissioned plushies? where can I buy them?
Sometimes I make plushies to sell that aren't commissioned. I post them on my Deviantart http://magnastorm.deviantart.com/ , Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/MagnaStorm?ref=pr_shop_more or ebay store http://myworld.ebay.com/draxia/?_trksid=p4340.l2559
