Plush toy craft knowledge

As an important member of the toy family, plush toys have their own unique methods and standard requirements in terms of process flow and production methods.Only by understanding and strictly following its craft can we produce high-quality plush toy products.

From the perspective of the general framework, the production and processing of plush toys are mainly divided into three parts: cutting, sewing and finishing.The production and processing of plush toys are divided into the following three parts:

1. cutting

Traditional cutting methods mainly include thermal cutting, cold cutting and manual cutting.Now some factories have started to use laser cutting, and some places use net cutting machines in the clothing industry for cutting.Different fabrics can choose different tailoring methods.In general, manual cropping is relatively inaccurate and inefficient.

Cold cutting is to cut toy fabrics with steel abrasives and presses.It is suitable for multi-layer cutting of thinner fabrics with high efficiency.

Eager is a plate-shaped mold made of plasterboard and thermal fuses that fuse the fabric of the toy when energized.This eager cutting method is more suitable for chemical fiber and thicker fabrics, and cannot be cut in multiple layers.

The new laser cutting precision is very high, the labor cost is relatively low, but the speed is slightly slower, and the machine price is more expensive.Of course, the double-head laser cutting machine can make up for the lack of speed.The problems that should be paid attention to in cutting are the hair direction, color difference and number of pieces of the fabric, and the cutting should be scientifically typesetting, which can save a lot of fabric and avoid unnecessary waste.It is especially important to cut off the safety of this blackout.

2. Sewing

The sewing process is to sew the cut toy pieces together to form the basic shape of the toy, which is convenient for later filling and finishing, and finally completes the product.Most sewing machines used in the toy industry are industrial high-speed lockstitch machines.

Household sewing machines are not suitable for the production and processing of plush toys.Everyone in the industry knows that the alignment of stitch size and marking points is very important in the sewing process.

The seam size of most toys is 5mm, and some small toys can use a seam allowance of 3mm. If the seam size is different, deformation or asymmetry will occur, such as the size of the left and right legs is different; if the marking points are not aligned for splicing, such as: Deformation of limbs, out of shape of face, etc.

Pay attention to the use of different needles and needle boards for different toy fabrics.For thinner fabrics, 12# and 14# sewing machine needles are mostly used, and small eye needle plates are used; for thicker fabrics, 16# and 18# are commonly used.# needle and use a large eye needle board.

During the sewing process, always be careful not to skip the thread, adjust the number of stitches for different sizes of toy materials, and pay attention to the integrity of the stitches.Pay attention to the reverse stitch at the starting position of the material to be sewn to avoid stitching of the material to be sewn.

In the toy sewing process, the most difficult parts are the sewing of the head of the toy and the sewing of the soles of the feet, such as sewing ears, turning the soles of the feet, etc., which require high skills and physical fitness.Other aspects, such as adjusting the height of the machine according to the thickness of the fabric, choosing the same color system according to the fabric, etc., are some general precautions.

3. Organize

From the perspective of procedures and types of equipment, the subsequent procedures include eye punching, skin turning, filling, suturing, facial treatment, plastic surgery, hair blowing, thread trimming, needle inspection, packaging, etc.The equipment includes air compressors, needle detectors, cotton filling machines, eye drilling machines, carding machines, hair dryers, etc.
