Fursuit Thread V2 OPEN (New Poll)

[Wakpa]

I do not have a fursuit yet as I amtrying to find a decent fur suit maker who would not mind to make my fursuit someone turned me down because my character was plain and basic and boring I also love to have someone to help me to make a badge and stuff.

all these fursuits looks really great Keep up the good work

I would never turn people down for that, that's normally just something they charge less for. Was it a professional maker or some one that was busy or what?

They claimed they were a professional maker, they had slots opened for commsion. They just said it was too boring for them to do they rather make something more fun.

that's really odd.if you don't mind, who was it/ what was your character?
also what's your price range and what kind of suit are you looking for? I might be able to suggest some makers

So, I made a set of feet paws and I think they came out great! But the only issue I have is the matting I used on the bottom of them. It's rubber matting but I guess it just thin enough to pick up dirt in the pattern of the bottom of the shoe I used. I'm making another set of paws and I want to avoid this! I could double up the matting I'm using, but I figure that risks it coming apart later. Any ideas? I could really use the help. Thanks all!

You can definitely double up the matting! You're going to want to use an industrial strength glue. E6000 is my personal favorite just weight it down and let it dry for 24 hours.

I figured doubling could, both, work well and maybe risk falling apart. I used E6000, and it worked really well! I love it! I guess I just worry. :/ I'll give it a try anyway. Thanks!

Hello all! I am need of advice from you all, since I have very lost. If you have any experience with ordering fur, this applies especially to you!!
I'm trying to figure out what the best online fabric provider would be. I'm currently looking at fabric.com, distinctive fabrics and fabric empire.
I hesitant about fabric.com since there are so many negative reviews about it, however I'm taking it with a grain of salt since it is the internet. I've also spoken to a friend who takes tail/paws (I'm not sure what else) commissions and they said that the only issues they have ever had with it is crinkled fur which is easily fixed. So I'm conflicted on what to do.
(The colors I'm after is white, black and a darker red in about a yard each.)
I'm in a rut, and i have no idea what to do next.
Can anyone offer any suggestions of fabric suppliers that you prefer or could offer a insightful review on any of the suppliers listed above?

@ chaoses:
I recently got a yard white fur from fabric.com and the only grumble I have about it, is they cut it with scizzors, which leaves remnants of the other part of the fur on the material and you have to deal with a lot of extra fluff, which isn't fun. It's messy.

I personally got mine from Fabric Empire and I love it. It's soft and easily brushes out if the fur gets a little mussed up. The edges are all fine on mine as well. Black and white were two of the colors I ordered and I can tell you that they are wonderful to work with, I have used the black for handpaws and the white for handpaws and feetpaws. They shave pretty easily(make sure to still do a test run on scrap fur first just to get the feel of it) as well, and you can get it quite short without the backing showing.
