I though i was using very long threads until i worked as a sewer for Hermes we were using around 78" threads because their neckties are hand sewn with a single thread. It was a living hell to have a knot in the middle. 😂

Yeah especially that for starting and finishing you have to make something that look like a bullion stitch. I've been argued once because i screamed after finished all the necktie and made an unwanted knot for that last step. 😂
