Separate resemblance from reproducibility
A sample should show whether the character is represented correctly and whether those details can be carried through production as agreed. Silhouette, features, fabric, seam placement and components may affect both questions at once.
Review appearance in priority order
Check overall proportion, silhouette and expression before color, fabric texture and small details. Reviewing only one photograph can miss changes at the side, base or after stuffing.
Write changes in a usable way
When changes are needed, describe where, what and why: for example eye spacing, ear angle, embroidery placement or fabric effect. This keeps revision discussion tied to the same physical issue instead of vague back-and-forth.
Keep the right references after approval
The approved item, photos, material notes and key changes are all useful references. Each project should also define which files, versions and sign-off method govern production.
A practical review order
- Overall proportion and standing, sitting or hanging state.
- Facial expression, left-right balance and key recognition features.
- Fabric, color, embroidery, printing, components and labels.
- Packing or accessories included in the project agreement.
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.
