[QUOTE="Finnclouds, post: 9732745, member: 84680"]Okay, a non-crafter’s question: Bluumz’s comments made me go look at machines that can make a chain stitch. So, if “handmade" means only something made by a needle and thread without any help from any machine, this might not qualify. On the other hand, if it was made by someone running a machine like this [MEDIA=youtube]UoyhgXjb05o[/MEDIA], from a basic design, with individual workers choosing their own colors and making small variations to the shapes, would it be called machine-made or handmade? Based on the photos of the original in this thread and the one still sold online, these covers are individually made and not exact copies of each other, i.e not made e.g. by feeding a design into machine that would then spit out countless exact copies.[/QUOTE]
