This question have boggled my mind too long:
How on Earth is it possible to make a football or volleyball etc with the stitches on the INSIDE of the ball???
How do they do that??

Simple, stitch it inside out, leaving a hole for the inflator valve, and then use a strong vaccum pump to turn it right side out. Insert vlave, seal with sealant and inflate. Now ask a hard one.
How do they do that??

Are you seriously suggesting that a leather football could be pulled inside out through the hole that the valve goes in? Its only about 3 mm across.
How do they do that??

If you want to be serious, they actually finish the last bit off by sewing up on the outside, the hole they leave is larger. But who wants to be totally serious. With a strong enough pump it could be done!!!!
How do they do that??

Sewing the last part from the outside?? This brings us back to the original question: How can a round thing, f.ex a ball, be sown from the outside with the stiches on the inside??? And by the way: Dogs sweat through their mouth, so how come they have armpits (or maybe it's called pawpits?) ?
Key: Complain about this post
