Does Regia require garments to be hand sewn?
I would rather that garments were hand sewn. Somehow you just feel better about a garment that you have sewn yourself! That said, Regia accepts machining on seams that definitely will not be on show (bearing in mind that members of the public are quite capable of picking up the skirt of your dress to peer at the side seam.) I even had someone who sniffed my sleeve (he worked in a dye factory) when I told him it was dyed with madder. All seams must be neatened and not left raw.
