A new workshop, because the old one retired
Why the change
The maker retired at seventy-one and nobody took the workshop on. That is the whole reason and it is not a cost decision.
What stays the same
The pattern, the material, and the tooling, which the new workshop bought. The first batch was compared against stock from the old.
What differs
The stitch density is very slightly higher on the new machine. It is visible under a lens and not otherwise.
