My point about the pitch setting is that it would need to be the same very nice tailor or female persuasion person in each case, if the count and stitch length is the same. Or at least the tailors of Holland were passing around the same sewing machine and no one ever said, "Dummkopf, this is not a trouser leg!" and changed to 9, 11 or 13 per inch instead

[PS: this will be more than you ever wanted to know about setting the stitch count on a sewing machine.]
