Generally, plushies will require several rounds of sampling. The first will be a sew-out to perfect the shape. This will not be in the final fabrics or colors; it is just for shape and size adjustments. 

The second round of samples will feature fabrics and colors similar to the final design, so the creator can get a feel for how it will look as a whole. Then the final sew-out will be made from the custom-dyed fabrics. The first samples will be photographed for approval.
