@mffn seriously, people should start thinking about it. you got a point there man. cheap labour probably in hazardous conditions that we on the other side of the world, take for granted.

How would you not make it a sweat shop? If this was in America I don't know how you could make the conditions any better.

@mffn based on what evidence you could tell this factory is a sweatshop?

OK... nice factory, brand new Brother industrial models. But... So primitively inefficient! Amazingly, they are using fabric shears to clip threads! A cutter can be glued to the side of each machine for pennies...not to mention adding a foot pedal controlled cutter for a few dollars more. And what's with the back breaking basting on the CONCRETE FLOOR?! Surely a few tables could be provided for this work? And finally, really, using a NEEDLE to hand prick holes for a pattern transfer?!

How nice of you to film inside a sweatshop factory and promote quilts that can be made for less than 10 dollars and charge them 93203923023 dollars. Grats
