As long as consumers buy up this kind of stuff, they'll keep making it. As to whether these are "quilts," per se, I'd call them knock-offs.
The one major component of a quilt which cannot be "knocked-off" is love. There's no love in these.
Now, I'm off to caress my projects.

Yep .....sweat shop is what I believe we were watching....and no one looked like they were enjoying their work. Although I know that commercial machines work really fast......I still believe these were speeded up a bit.

I have some of these quilts. One of them I absolutely love. It is coming apart at the seams even though the cotton is a very nice quality. Their scant quarter inch is very scant.
That binding thing looks like a bias tape maker attached to the machine at an angle.
Fascinating! :shock: :shock: :shock: :D :D :D :thumbup:

Productivity is the objective. I would never keep up with the rate seen in the vidios. My sister and niece worked in a clothing factory in Missouri. My niece was fast and very productive, but the pay was minimum rate and no benifets. My sister said they only got a raise when the minimum pay was increased by the government. They had to meet minimum standard production or be fired.
