Hello prpro-ga,
Thank you for your question.
The following is what I located in regard to the manufacture of cloth
dolls. All my leads include website, address, phone number and e-mail.
As to the number of dolls these companies can manufacture, these
details are not published on their websites as I am sure it depends on
many factors which you will have to discuss with them personally.

I e-mailed them and received this reply from Bob Coker:
“ If the doll requires hand stitching, in other words if any part of
the doll cannot fit under the foot of a sewing machine and requires a
needle and thread sewing, you will most likely not be able to find a
manufacture to make them other than off shore.
Bob”
Not so encouraging but I suggest getting in touch with him to discuss
the possibilities.

Yonda Toys Manufacturing Ltd:
Although they specialize in plush toys there is a possibility of that
they could manufacture the cloth dolls because of the following
excerpt from their profile.
“Aside from ordering products in which you see from our catalogs,
customers' designs are also very welcome. As we have our own sampling
room, customers can simply give us sketches, pictures or descriptions
of toys they have in mind, then we would have our high-quality
sampling crew work and create a sample of your dream toy.”

International Source Network:
The following is a short excerpt from their website.
Custom Manufactured Products
“Why pay more when you can get the same quality product at a greatly
reduced price? If you are not manufacturing internationally, you are
missing out on the higher margins that our current clients are
achieving.”
“In sourcing a product, we generally determine which country is the
best candidate for sourcing based on the type of product, quotas,
expected target price, volume, complexity of the product, and currency
exchange rates. We normally identify manufacturers who either produce
a similar product or are willing to produce the new item.”
