No, it's not hard to do--but many board members are not the "crafty" type; others may not have the hand strength required; others may not wish to invest in the tools and supplies needed in order to re-string just one doll; and still others feel just a little "freaked-out" at seeing dolls taken apart.
To these board members I offer my services of re-stringing (and hair restoration), and I like to think the convenience and quick service are well worth my rates, which I keep as low as I can.
To the intrepid would-be restringers, I say "Go to it, and good luck!", especially for PM dolls, which I myself like to see kept out of the AG Hospital when possible, just in case of unwanted head or limb replacements. (But that's just me--I know the AG Hospital does great work, but we all have our little freak-out triggers, and that's mine!) [img]eek.gif[/img]
To marymax--I order my elastic from the mini-world site, but they do have a $10 minimum order, which translates to 20 yards of elastic to meet the minimum. Good luck with Kirsten, and post pictures of her when she's done, if you can! [img]smile.gif[/img]
