It's all about the small placement details of your work station an you to prevent permanent repetitive strain injuries such as corpral tunnel syndrome of the wrists and hands. It could even mean the importance of raising or lowering a work surface a few inches to angle your wrists so the work their muscles less.

[@titiasplantedaquariums]

I know this comment was made a while ago, but I have sewn both on an indusrrial and home sewing machine in the past before. I noticed a significant difference in ergonomics in both types. Industrial machines are designed ergonomically to sew multiple hours a day, several days a week, your posture in combination with a good chair is a lot better. When I sit behind my home sewing machine like I would behind an industrial, including the right height, I don't see my needle anymore at all. That has to do with the height of the shaft of the machine. Home sewing machines are ergonomically designed to sit on a higher surface like a kitchen table and for a few hours a week at most. Your shoulders and neck hurt because you have to work with your arms and shoulders on a higher level.

[@kathyyoung1774]

@@titiasplantedaquariums Thank you for this info! It sounds like I’d be better off if I set my home machine on a lower table, but I’m not sure how I’d see the needle to guide the fabric through.

@@kathyyoung1774 You can try to find a middle in between. My vintage Bernina home sewing machine sits in a DIY table. I try to sit in my chair as high as I can on a comfortable level and still be able to see the foot and needle. For longer sewing sessions it's still not perfect, but better doable than for instance with your example. Good luck👍🏻

I worked at Hancock Shirt factory Waterville, ME = sewing, 1st felling - which is sewing the seam in the sleeve only. Also I worked at a Saco ME shoe factory sewing Penny loafers. I worked at a luxury clothing store where a tailor taught me to fit men's suits and women's gowns. I am happy to have notices this video, brought back years of memories. I am now 72 and just used for the first time iron-on stabilizer to make myself an art bag to carry my art supplies to art classes and art shows. I enjoyed this video very much. I have worked at Joann Fabrics, So FRO Fabric stores and Affordable Fabrics. I wish I could open my own business as I am very busy making bags for wheelchairs and walkers and donate them to DAV and other places who have disabled veterans and others who have the need. I am also designing and making masks to donate. I live in a tiny 2.5 room elderly apartment and my bedroom is really an art/craft/sewing storage room. These KZbin videos have opened up many new projects and necessities/accessories to keep me busy during the COVID shut down. Not many elderly have the knowledge of the computer and while working at sewing, I also worked in Emhart Industries and Konica Business Machines which allowed me to know a lot about the computer as I started working using the first computers DOS, I went back to school at 60 and learned photography and Photoshop and am going to combine the photography/graphic design with my sewing and arts. I am so glad I had to work so hard when I was young, it allowed me to have plenty to accomplish in my old age instead of playing bingo and doing puzzles. In my living room I have a sewing machine, embroidery machine, serger, press, 2 computers, 2 printers, one prints out 13 x 19 inch photos. Of course I only donate and show my photos. The only thing I never did was a video. I love KZbin it opens up so much that I never would have thought of. Thank you all you brave people who show others such great videos.

I worked on the line in a sewing factory then moved into quality control where I reworked errors in production. Doing the rework was more interesting because I did many different procedures. Resewing stitching done on satin by a double needle machine was one of the most interesting. Each stitch had to exactly hit the spot where the original stitch had been.

I used to work in sewing factories from ‘87 to’98. We got out dozens upon dozens a day depending on the job. From cutting floor to quality then packed for shipment.

What did you sew and what did you like about your job?

[@elizabetht.4138]

@ Lab coats, shorts, pants, thermal shirts and pants, children's clothing, different materials, I actually liked the sewing part but not the getting paid on production because back then it was $3.35 an hour. I was a floater I did what was needed because I was such a fast learner on different machines also trained others.

@@elizabetht.4138 Great! What did you most like about the sewing part of your job? The reason I ask is that I and my wife have a small underwear / tank top / T-shirt factory in Gambia in West Africa, which currently employs 10 women. They all like the sewing part, but are not so keen on doing cutting, quality inspection, ironing and packaging :)

[@elizabetht.4138]

Fantastic video/documentary! Heartfelt thanks to John Santos and to the wonderful folks at Bella + Canvas. High praise for this stellar presentation showing America based Bella + Canvas' leading the way in their efforts towards a more ethical, environment/eco -friendly, mindful use, and sustainable industry and workforce. John Santos has done an amazing job describing how T-Shirts are made, being precise, sequential, being on-point and providing clear examples to illustrate and bring in-depth meaning. It is like Mr. Santos is in the viewer's mind, perceiving the next question and moves into answering it with value added each step of the way. His format, capturing the information on video, and narration are the "GOLD STANDARD" in quality and presentation to a wide audience: from the casual viewer, to educating viewers in schools, to those within the commercial industry and markets. It is a blessing to have had this opportunity to view this video/documentary from the "From the Ground Up Series," where I have learned so much, and I look forward to viewing more. Cheers!

There is no “taking care of the environment” when they use that much excess plastic and they are shipping things back and forth across the americas.

[@nh2933]

Michael Posey true, if you want to be more environmentally friendly just move the sewing production to America, save the money of all that plastic and all those ships and invest it in paying workers in your country even though it’s more expensive. You’ll be doing a much more moral action and reducing your footprint

[@jenesoleil3922]

Michael Posey I agree. Best to look for locally made products with textiles that are made locally. FYI Bella Canvas does have t-shirts that are made in Los Angeles. A little more expensive, but good quality and worth the $$.

[@zlistcelebrityYT]

NH2 And that will raise the cost of production which will raise the price. I’m with you but then what you’re gonna have is people complaining “I’M NOT PAYING THAT MUCH FOR A SHIRT!” The truth is people want American production but don’t want to pay for it. They’ll pay $10 for a shirt that costs that low because of the overseas components but I see people complain every day about not paying $40 for the “made in America” high quality cotton they claim they wanted so bad.

[@zeusincoming282]

I think Plastic is becoming more biodegradable these days. I have noticed that shipping plastic and shopping bag plastic kind of dissentigrates over a short time.

[@nh2933]

@@jenesoleil3922 I know. People need to understand and ground themselves in the fashion environment. Nowadays everybody is used to think that a pair of jeans that costs more than 20$ is already expensive, and me being someone who makes their own garments and knows all the steps that take to make a pair of jeans (because I’ve made quite a few) can tell you 20$ is really really really low. Fast fashion brands like Zara, Bershka, Pull&bear, Urban Outfiters, etc have made people think those are the real prices when their are not. A solution is research and inform ourselves and others with this information, change the “I need to go shopping every week/month” mentality, instead of end up buying four jeans, choose a local/small businesses and support their work buying their clothes. Another thing that he says in the video is that the clothes they make in that factory are made by people, and yes, all are made by people, because there isn’t still technology to replace humans for some tasks, but don’t get fooled, in these factories every single person does the same job every hour, all day, maybe sewing the bottom of the trouser and the giving that trouser to another person that will do the next step (chain working) meanwhile in an atelier or really small business where things are hand made, each person does every step from start to finish, which obviously is harder, takes longer and is more expensive. Se please don’t get confused by that ❤️

I worked in apparel manufacture for years…a lot of it down south, Guatemala etc… it was pretty bad working conditions & I was never comfortable dealing with the factories that paid the workers $5 a day…on a good day, and we were giving them orders for 60-100,000 pcs every few weeks so the owners were making a fortune. Soon after we took our business home & to LA where you are. Found incredible suppliers, craftsmanship & quality that we never got from the huge Korean owned Central American factories..and although the price was obviously higher we absorbed some & passed the rest along in pieces to customers & no one really felt that much of a squeeze so it worked out for everyone. - Make your goods in America, it’s worth it for so many reasons.

Thanks for that! Also, really interesting to see the manufacturing, I think more countries need to consider ways to get customers to value locally produced products more so we can start producing more locally. Will benefit the environment and hopefully make the society go away from the buy and throw away concept we have now with cheap products that don't last for very long flooding the markets.

I Worked in a sewing factory a long time ago, and the fabric was rolled out by hand, layer on top of layer, then the cutters had large machines that they used to make the cuts of the pattern that was laying on top of the fabric. Then workers would pick up the bundles of pieces and put them together with what matched, then they would give each outfit to the sewing operators. I worked in all 5 steps checking the quality of each operator as they did their job. It was a hard job, since we were responsible for finding any problems !

Very informative video reminiscent of my experience as an Industrial Engineer in a glove factory in the Philippines engineering a sequential process line of sewing a fashion glove with about a dozen sewers and quality contoller. You get the finished glove at the end of about a twelve meter line of sewing and examination tables.

This was my first video and I think it was very insightful. I really did not know so much work goes into making a tee shirt. Well made video! And YES I subscribed ☺

[@WhiteDervish]

Quite a well-made report! Keep it up.

It is excellence that is longed for, for its premium quality, details and standards, as well as the employees regarded for its loyalty, expertise and preservation of standards, designed for upholstery, clothing, businesses needs and infrastructure protection, protected from uncertainties or onslaughts of weather. Congratulations.

Thank you. I really enjoyed watching this episode and learning some of the steps in the ethical manufacturing process. Educational.

[@knkosmides]

Loved the detail of what goes into a simple tee. Can you make a video on places to shop that are ethically producing clothes? Like multiple places in multiple price points.
