I can help you every step of the way when it comes to designing your memory bear or you can just leave it up to me. This choice is yours and will need to be put in writing before your memory bear order is processed. You will need to give me confirmation on the design before the memory bear is constructed, this will be done through text messaging, email or direct messaging through social media. This handled through pictures via text messaging, email, or direct messaging through social media (whichever you are most comfortable with choosing.)
Do you give credit, refunds or cancellations?
Due to the nature of the memory bear sewing services I do not offer refunds, or credits once the memory bear order has been started and confirmed by you either in text messaging, written documents, direct messaging, and/or social media messaging. The cancellation of orders will not result in a refund or credit.
How long will it take to my memory bear?
I ask that you give me up to 3 weeks to create your custom memory bear, and you do understand that this time frame may or may not take longer depending on the amount of time the customer takes to communicate with me. You, the customer, also understand that we can not be held responsible for acts of God, delivery, or other extenuating circumstances that are outside of our control.

Orders of 5+ memory bears require 1/2 down and then remaining plus any shipping due before delivery.

Are the bears child/baby safe?
No, they are not. They are not toys. These memory bears aren’t meant to be played with and do contain small parts that could be choking hazards. Sewing with STEAM, LLC memory bears are primarly created for holding, hugging, comforting, and sharing. However, they are not a toy and you are ordering and/or receiving/gifting your memory bears with this knowledge.
Do I need to wash my garments?
Yes, it’s best to wash your garments according to the directions on your care label. However, I ask you do not use fabric softener as this creates a waxy buildup on our sewing machines.
Do you offer additional memory sewing services?
