Stitching the Last Patch on a Football

Haha..... good question!!

I would guess that they stitch the football through the pressure valve hole?

Or possibly inside out..... nawwww they couldn't pull it through the pressure valve hole?

Anyone?

Its not that hard to find....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PX06ABFLtvc The hardest part is pulling the child out when she's done sewing.

Yep. They do it from the inside.

I may not be respectable, but:

If you don't feel like watching the whole thing--It comes down to the last four stitches and the final knot is pulled into the ball.

Hard not to get a little philosophical watching the work that goes into one.

Thank you for reply,

But its American football, its relatively easy,

Simple, they do the last stitch first.

Haven't you read that scripture that says the last will be first?

So we are saying that there is not currently a designed machine that produces these balls from start to finish? Sounds like a challenge.

Yes Even a manual process is unknown for me.

Football (soccer) manufacture was not on my list of things I knew something about, so I started looking, thanks to your question. First, I found that the majority of them come from one city in Pakistan. Then I found this most troubling bit of information.

Thnak you for your comment,

GA voted, sorry, no tins of tuna currently available. Will you settle for a tuna steak à la bistro Français? _{<just say yes, you KNOW you want it...>}

Another GA for you, puss puss. Well done.

Can't say as we have any tuna on hand. Would ocean whitefish + salmon do?
