Just to be clear, there are 2 computer stitching things going on - the type pictured above, and the imitation cursive. Damn, knew I should have gotten a picture.

Perhaps mousepod will give us a photo of the one he bought?

Oh, and yes TT, the hand done has always been free.

I love the hand stitching, there's something nostalgic and happy about it(when it's done right

)

And paying $7 for it

that's a bit much

We got a hand job on ours. Es muy better.

I asked the girl (in Mad Hatter) about the hand process. She says it just takes a lot of practice. They practice on paper towels. And have a fair amount of mistakes (including one while making mine). Hmm... I think it would SAVE them money to just give away the machine stitch - less shrinkage.

It's a masterpiece of marketing. Come up with a way to produce your product for less (reduced shrinkage and reduced need for special staff training) and yet market it as an improvement at an increased cost. I don't know whether to applaud or cry.

Tee hee - Shrinkage.

Hey, I'm still snickering over "Hand Job" from earlier...

CoasterMatt · 03-21-2005, 09:31 PM

When I was in college, a friend did a presentation about movie villains, including "Oddjob" from Goldfinger. In front of a lecture hall of students, he introduced everybody to "Handjob" - a fiendish henchman from the movie Goldfinger... of course, I was the one in the class snickering like the Beavis that I am...

Picture coming up in a minute (as soon as I catch up on the posting). It should be noted that the computer cursive was free.
