I want to re string one of my dolls entire body, you know, both arms/ legs. I know I could go to justmagicdolls.com and find so great info on it too. But if I did this the wrong way(knowing me I would) could my doll be totaled? I'm really not a good neat, crafty person so I'm wondering if I shouldn't just send her to the doll hospital to get her strings tightened. Like to day I went to a craft sale at a local high school and I saw some really cool things. And I know if I tried to do some of those things 4 people would be killed and a house would be burnt down! [img]tongue.gif[/img] Is re stringing a hard thing to do is basically what I mean.
I know people on here re-string. I would try it yourself, and if you run into trouble someone here would probably help out. I don't think there's any way you could damage your doll that couldn't be fixed. Good luck. I'm thinking it's AsianAG who restrings, but I could be wrong.

I think a lot of people here at HB re string. Or am I wrong? It seems like people here know a thing or two about re stringing so I though I'd ask.
Yes, people here have done the re-stringing. If I recall correctly, they've said it's not TOO hard. Personally, although I've done re-wigging, and re-stuffing, and a few other things, I wouldn't try the re-stringing. I'd be afraid of messing her up, and having 6 pieces of a doll laying around, even for just a few days.
I would guess that if you messed it up, you'd just have the restart. After taking out (do you cut?) the strings, you just have to put in new ones. At the very least, if you cut the old ones out and couldn't get the new ones in right, you could send the doll's pieces to the AG hospital, and (for a fee) they'd fix her up for you.

I believe so, hence the RE-stringing. I think you can tighten them, as well, though.
I just want to tighten them. Would I need new strings for that?

Here's Taffy's guide on re-stringing. I found the link by looking in the Website sticky at the top of the AGHB page. I looked through the sticky and didn't see anything specifically about tightening the limbs.
Hopefully someone who knows will post about it for you. But, again, I don't think it'll ruin the doll. If you mess her up, you can send her to the AG hospital. I assume this would be part of the Wellness visit?
After seeing that I might just send her to the AG hospital. [img]eek.gif[/img] I'm kind of sreamish wene it comes to surgery!
Elastic? Huh? Sorry, I'm just so naive and unintellagable about this stuff. I'd send her to the AG hospital but...
