Even in industry few know how the industry sews. Because industry is line assembly, Factories train workers to be proficient in only one or two procedures. When the factories relocate, the jobs are gone. The workforce is devastated. Unless the workers have been cross-trained, many may not be capable of making their own clothing.
Access to industrial fashion engineering procedures is limited and almost unavailable.
Industrial sewing procedures are easier to learn and use than home-sewing procedures. That is because instructions in the home-sewing books on the market are illogical, inconsistent, and over one-hundred years out of date. Home-sewing method, are slow and seldom give truly professional results.
Home-sewing fashion magazine and book editors I’ve worked with were home-economic majors. None knew industrial sewing or had ever been in a factory or design room.
