1. We operate on professional industrial equipment, whereas the majority of our competition run on basement-based non-industrial sewing machines
2. Non-industrial irons are unable to properly pre-shrink the fabrics and vestments, whereas our industrial heating tables do it professionally and neatly. Layers of stabilizers in vestments require industrial heating tables. Using home irons result in inadequate layer adherence and thus the layers may come off after several cleanings.
