Depends on what aspect of quality you are referring to. If you mean "will it last as long?" then yes, properly machine made seams are just as good as, or better than handmade. If you mean "is it as artisanal/sartorial/fun to look at?" then no, it isn't.
How important is it?
As important as you deem it. Few people will see the difference.
Thank you - I guess what I was concerned about is that perpaps the collar would not fit as well around my next as if it were attached by hand. Really hate collar gaps on jackets.
