[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 534163, member: 8184"]The whole question of when the machinery arrived in China has me wondering, but, as best I can tell, none of my pieces like this survived the last move. I was about to go after one with a seam ripper and expose the back, but there are none to be found. :hilarious: The severely limited palette, the severely limited number of stitch types, the simplicity/crudeness of the design, the simplicity/crudeness of the stitching, the thickness of the thread, the single layer of thread, the appearance of zig-zag ... all this screams "machine stitched" to me. Is it possible it's cheap labor? Maybe. I don't think so.[/QUOTE]
