I used a string body for A reborn. I’m not really a fan of them. They are a little difficult. So basically the arms only stay in the up position or they stick off. I’m actually not sure if it is a stuffing issue. But can I pull the string out and replace it with a cable tie instead? I wanted to ask before I removed the string. Thank you.
Absolutely yes, you can definitely do that…I do it with any body that has string ties…cable ties are much more secure…

Thank you.
You are very welcome
I buy the string bodies and replace with cable ties. I give the strings to my hubby to use. Yesterday, he told me he didn’t want any more of them because they break. Eeek! Imagine a baby head falling off and freaking out a mommy! 
So glad all my babies have the cable ties!

Thank you. I brought a bunch of cable ties. I was scared that the arms my fall off. They don’t seem secure. I was like going to do away with the bodies. But I will put the strings out.
I specifically buy the bodies with the string ties so I can put the baby together to make sure it feels good then I replace the string with cable ties. It’s less expensive that way, too!

I usually buy the string bodies because they are cheaper, and then I replace the string with cable ties. You can get cable ties fairly cheap!
