But as you say they sew a little harder because of it though. I toured their facility in Eugene and they sew there's finished,(not sewn before construction) but they are running Tajimas. and they steam there's before hooping to smooth them out. it was quite interesting... if anyone ever needs Richardson, call me a nd I will help where I can or e-mail me privately is fine. ron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
