Quote:I opted for separate sewn-on lace-holes rather than the original design that was punched through the side. I figure if there's a catastrophic failure on the lacing system I'd rather just sew on a new lace hole rather than have to attempt to fix the entire piece. It's also quilted at 10cm. spacing rather than 5cm like in Sander's design because I think 10cm is adequate and his appears to be machine-stitched, whereas mine is 100% hand-stitched with linen thread (I built it to last).
Bit late to see this but still wanted to say - as Jef already kindly did above - that not a single thread on my subarmalis is machine-stitched. Everything was hand-stitched, but I'll take your comment as a compliment.
