Ok, so who wants to try to sew 21 layers of this stuff? within 1/64" accuracy...yikes!!!
I laughed my back side off when a co-worked asked me if a modern machine could do this. I said that I believe that ONLY a specially made industrial today could but most pre 1950 machines would at least have a chance.
