    As a person can hardly find something made in the USA, this is what everything we here purchase probably looks like when it's being made. People working for next to nothing and us reaping the benefits.....

    It will probably never change.

    Yep, sweat shops. I am surprised they were allowed to film inside although this one did look pretty clean.

    I really want that binding tool !! lol I think it is a bit of a pity that there is no chatting while they sew, no camaraderie, no loving touches on the fabrics, no little tugs and pulls to make it fit right! I think quilts develop a 'personality' as I sew them (I know I am a little flaky!) And they gradually grow and develop the quilts these people sew, while still pretty seem a little flat and devoid of personality. This is Just my opinion and in no way meant to diminish how people earn their living, they still do a wonderful job and of course these are more affordable than the quilts quilters from this board put together.

    When you are paid based on piece work, you make more pieces! Also, they have straight stitch, industrial machines, and lots of practice. If they don't sew, they probably don't eat...
