[QUOTE="Finnclouds, post: 9732509, member: 84680"]Hi AJ, I wouldn’t know. It just seems to me that the randomness of the lines and uneven length and tightness and thickness of stitches might be indicative of hand stitching. But maybe the machines have gotten very good at faking that. Also, I read somewhere that it’s cheaper to hire people/kids to do that sort of work than buying the machines and teaching people to use them. Here in Portugal, the average wages were about 500 euros[I] a month[/I] not too long ago.[/QUOTE]
