Machine Stitched Football
Stitching plays a key role in determining the quality of a soccer ball. Many are confused if they should opt for hand stitching or machine stitching for the production of soccer balls. This can be resolved easily by taking into account how the item would be used. For example, whether the ball is being used for a World Cup final, floating ball game or merely as a promotional item.
Hand-Stitched– This allows for deeper seams; protecting the stitching. The method of stitching offers longer longevity and playability of the ball.
Machine Stitched– This is a fast and inexpensive method that is more commonly used for cheaper and lower quality balls. The seams aren’t as deep as the hand-stitched. This means the stitching isn’t as durable. There might be an exposed seam that will be easily stretch and will potentially tear.
Thermal Bonding / Glue– This could be high-end or low-end. It depends on the process through which a machine heats and presses panels into a mould. The seams can be very small in this method. Low-end production on this method can lead to the glue falling off with continuous usage. Peeling of the panels is often a disadvantage of this method.
These hand-stitched soccer balls tend to cost more than machine stitched soccer balls. However, the hand-stitched balls are regarded to have stronger seams. A 5-ply polyester thread will often be used to produce high-end soccer balls. Since 1996, the World Cup balls have been manufactured using the thermal bonding process. This is due to the shallower seams. Therefore, a smoother ball is made. The most recent ball, Brazuca, has deeper seams. These balls are still using the same thermal bonding method. Hence, keeping the water resistance but avoiding issues on playability.
If the item isn’t going to be used as a soccer ball, then it may be more economically-sensible to opt for machine-stitched items over the more expensive hand-stitched balls. Stitches matter upon continuous usage of the item. However, on certain circumstances, the look of the hand-stitched balls may be preferred. Items that need an authentic look, like this antique style ball, may choose the latter.

Product manufacturers generally have refined processes for how they develop their products.
These processes have been crafted, adjusted and maintained over a number of years so that what gets shipped to retail outlets is of the highest possible quality and standard.
In the same vein, consumers are mostly on the lookout for items that carry a lot of mileage with them.
You know what I mean, right?
Just imagine going to your favourite soccer gear store to look for the best soccer ball available.
Without a doubt, you’re going to consider the way in which each soccer ball has been constructed.
This is because such an evaluation will likely provide you with an indication of expected longevity for the soccer ball that you end up choosing to buy.
However, not every person possesses the necessary discernment to be able to differentiate between a well-made soccer ball and one that’s been mish-mashed together.
And that’s why the following question is quite commonly asked:
Which soccer ball is better: hand-stitched or machine-stitched?
I’m going to cut right to the chase and answer this for you, right away.
A hand-stitched soccer ball will outperform a machine-stitched one when it comes to durability, primarily because the former method of construction allows for the seams to be hidden much deeper within the outer spherical structure, where the stitches are less exposed to the external impacts that bring about excessive stretches and tears that damage the stitching integrity.
To understand why this is the case, you’re going to have to read on.
It’s only after I’ve explained each type of stitching that you’ll gain a better appreciation and insight into why hand-stitched soccer balls last longer than their machine-stitched counterparts.
A hand-stitched soccer ball is one whose panels have been sewn together by the hands of a human being.
It really is that simple.
Hand-stitching remains the most traditional method for creating a spherically shaped soccer ball, as the precision of panel placement and alignment that a skilled labourer is able to achieve using their hands is very high.
Back when this approach to making soccer balls was relatively new, thick polyester thread was the material of choice used to hold the panels together.
Nowadays, polyester or threading of a similar nature – such as nylon-waxed cord – can be used.
Here’s a closeup of a hand-stitched ball for you to see:
Notice how the stitches are hidden, as there’s not a single piece of threading visible on the entire ball circumference.
This is because as the stitching is completed, the sewer turns the ball inside out and works their way around it by individually sewing all the panels by hand, which ensures that none of the stitches show on the outer surface of the ball.
