Naturally, it is difficult to an untrained eye to differentiate between them. Nevertheless, it is quite simple.
The technology of tufting was generated when a young lady named Catherine Evans Whitener wove a unique bedspread. The Dalton woman actually recreated the handcrafted bedspread by sewing the thick cotton yarn. To fluff the sewed running stitches into unbleached muslin, she cut the yarn ends. Finally, she washed it to shrink the fabric that cleverly held the yarn. As the bed spread was given away as a wedding gift, it proved its worth gradually, becoming interestingly popular all over US.
Since 1900, in Dalton, US, ‘turfin’, the local terminology for the sewing process employed nearly all men, women and children in this business. Incredibly, it turned many area families to survive the ‘Depression’. Steadily, due to increasing demand, competition, fluctuation in minimum wage laws, and incoming of machine manufactured products, handmade tufted spreads became costly.
