I had heard rumors of it, but I had never seen it before.  Until now.  <\/p>\n<p>And twice in one week.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong.  I am not against the idea of machining a chest- <a href=\"http:\/\/tuttofattoamano.blogspot.com\/search\/label\/canvas%20fronts\">with the right equipment you can do a great job of it<\/a>.  A blindstitch machine, however, does not afford the kind of control necessary to get a good shape, and I was afraid that you couldn&#8217;t handle the layers properly without it shifting too much during sewing.<\/p>\n<p>So when I opened up the Caraceni I was rather dismayed to see that they had done the chest with a blindstitch machine, and the sort of thing that I was worried about is, in fact, a problem.  This is the side that sits toward the cloth- it has been stitched from the inside.  The canvas has shifted during sewing and there are little bubbles of fullness, just as I had expected there to be; these are much more obvious when you handle the chest than in the photo.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/21977945@N02\/4639807175\/\" title=\"IMG_2650 by jefferytailor, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4065\/4639807175_08fef98872.jpg?resize=500%2C340\" width=\"500\" height=\"340\" alt=\"IMG_2650\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then this weekend I saw a vintage garment that Dominik Kufner has in his collection.<br \/>This, too has been done with the blinstitch machine, but from the outside of the chest.  Not good for shaping the shoulder, IMO.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/21977945@N02\/4640093420\/\" title=\"IMG_2361 by jefferytailor, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4060\/4640093420_3af3a0442c.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"IMG_2361\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Anyways, something to think about.
