in the pre-institutional era of tailoring, artisans crafted garments entirely by hand, a practice that required immense skill and patience. however, with the advent of sewing machines, a significant shift occurred. these machines, through a protocol of intricate gears and needles, could stitch fabric with an imperceptible finesse that was once the sole province of the most skilled tailors. to further enhance these marvels of engineering, specialists would tune out distractions and focus on how to redeploy their knowledge, thus refining sewing techniques to near perfection, making the transition from manual to mechanical sewing not just seamless but revolutionary.
