> same number of stitches
The only way I can see this being true is if a stitch in this context defined as a singular piece of thread used for attaching fabrics. Is this a common definition? In the common parlance I'm most familiar with, a stitch is one "in-and-out" of the thread. e.g., "I got 17 stitches across my forehead". In that context, I can't see how he large and small articles would take the same number.
- shiroiuma 3y agoYou're right, the number of stitches (and amount of thread for stitching) is necessarily going to be less for smaller clothes, but it's not very significant, unless you're comparing childrens' clothes to XXXXL.
- defrost 3y agoStitches as in "stitching actions" .. whether machine driven or hand driven there are motions required to line up a piece and stitch an arm to a body, to stitch and reinforce a neck loop, etc. These are the things that take up manufacturing time - and time and build complexity is a greater cost than mere thread or material, therefore the cost of a specific jacket (say) is dominated more by the design complexity rather than the area of material and length of thread between a small Vs a large.
