"When fabric items must look good and be done right, I go to PTS. The people tell you what they can do, do it well, and deliver on time—which is unusual today."

| What’s so great about sewing? The reasons boil down to time and money—and a whole lot less of both. |

But (with the exception of the snake) there are many other ways to do these things.
So why sewing?
LESS TIME
The first reason is that old immortal: "It Takes Less Time."
Making complex shapes out of cloth is simply faster than using other materials. Sewn
solutions require no molds, no tooling, and no rigid production lines. Complex undercut
shapes are quick to prototype and refine. There are no in-built delays.
LESS COST
The second reason is that other old immortal: "It Takes Less Money."
Sewn solutions can be evolved on the fly, which lowers cost (and risk). If you don’t like
a feature, you can tweak it without retooling the whole production line—because there is
no tooling. Just needle, thread, and skill.
The result? Sewn solutions are quick to produce, inexpensive, and completely custom.
There are no sunk costs to amortize, so designs don’t have to be "generalized" for larger
markets. They can be built down to the last stitch to make you—and only you—happy.
