AMF Stitching

Dear members,

A question for you if I may.

I recently commissioned a few made to measure suits from Suitsupply and elected to forgo any AMF stitching (thinking, at the time, that a cleaner front face would be a good thing). In the time after making the purchase I have become unsure, and wonder whether I should have elected to have 2 or 6 mm AMF added. I'm aware that this can be done to a finished garment (does anyone have a name for the London area?) and am wondering whether it might make sense to look into it.

I'm also just generally interested in the opinions of those here on AMF and whether it should be routinely added to MTM garments.

Thanks!

Pick stitch would have to be added by hand. AMF machines are only found in factories
