Pattern making
A flat design is broken into pieces that can be cut and sewn. This establishes the physical silhouette and proportion.
Prototype and pattern revision
The prototype turns the pattern into the first physical object. Revision responds to what the object reveals about shape, proportion, expression and workmanship.
Approval sample and production reference
An approval sample records the agreed shape, color, materials and details. How it controls production should still be defined in project documents and approvals.
Why unit price is not the only question
Also ask what stage the project is in, what will serve as the production reference and how completed production will be checked.
Turn the decision into verifiable inputs
Align artwork version, finished size, estimated quantity, intended use and sales market before discussing fabric, decoration, attachments and packing. Without those inputs, price, time and fidelity do not describe one executable project.
For 10–20 cm work, pattern volume, facial spacing, pile and stuffed curvature interact. Leqiqu keeps 18+ fabric types in regular stock, while the physical swatch, approved sample and destination requirements govern the final choice.
| Condition | Confirm | Risk if missing |
|---|---|---|
| Artwork and size | Views, 10–20 cm target and recognition features | Pattern and facial positions rely on assumptions |
| Material and method | Swatch, pile, embroidery/print/appliqué and components | Colour, silhouette and legibility cannot be compared |
| Quantity and timing | Estimate, approval points, 5–7 day sampling and 15–20 day production references | Quote and delivery have no shared basis |
| Market and testing | Destination, age, material and construction | Applicable EN 71, ASTM F963, GB 6675, ST or KC scope is unknown |
| Production reference | Sample, photos, dimensions, materials and packing version | Bulk inspection becomes subjective |
Reduce information loss from sample to production
Sampling converts flat assumptions into a physical object. Review silhouette, proportion and expression first, then material, colour, stitching, components and packing. Revision notes should identify location, symptom and target.
After approval, align production fabric, key dimensions, methods and inspection points. Leqiqu can arrange applicable market-specific testing and third-party laboratory submission after requirements are confirmed; this is not a universal certification claim.
Client artwork, quotations and order information remain confidential. Public guidance uses general production reasoning and confirmed public Leqiqu parameters rather than unauthorized cases.
- Regular sampling reference: 5–7 working days
- Bulk-production reference: 15–20 days after approval
- No uniform MOQ; evaluate size, process, material and quantity
- 80+ in-house people and 300+ people in collaborative external lines
- Applicable testing can be arranged by target market
Additional project control
This page also uses a project-control layer: confirm the actual artwork, finished size, physical fabric, technique files, approved sample and target-market scope before production. The Chinese edition contains the detailed factory-side mechanism notes; the English edition is written around the same buyer decisions rather than presented as a literal translation.
