A quick tutorial in restringing a BJD. It's a basic type body, nothing fancy. Just covers the basics.

I am not an expert on BJDs, I do not consider myself an expert but if you have any questions I will do my best to answer them.

Appologies about the photo quality. It got dark when we started doing this.

I injured myself so ~MrBlueSuit helped me out.

Edit: Added a darker font to make it clearer to read. Hope that helps!

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I'm getting my first BJD (Minifee Seorin Girl) in a couple weeks but I was just curious; How do I know when it's time to restring my doll?

First of all, congrats on your first doll! It's always so exciting ^^. If you don't mind, I could offer my answer for this question. Some companies (not many) will actually send the dolls out in pieces, letting you string them when they arrive.
The other time you will restring your doll will be if you feel it is too tight or, especially, too loose. You will know the tension is okay if it easily holds a pose without either snapping back toward the body or simply seeming too limp. If it's too tight and you don't feel like restringing it, a helpful tp I was told when I got my first doll is to tie it in the fetal position for a few days, to loosen the elastic of the string a bit. Hopefully this helped :)

This appears to be a really clear, precise guide! I don't feel so scared of attempting to restring my doll now! :D

This is really useful. I was afraid to buy a bjd I have been pining over because I was afraid that restringing it would be hard. This helps clears things up.
