Machine-made tapestries should not be seen as being in competition with hand-woven tapestries. On the contrary, they should complement the work of the hand weavers.
Good machine-made examples constitute a step forward for woven images and cannot be ignored in modern interior design. No hand weaver, for example, could produce enough fabric to cover the seats in a theatre, nor would that be desirable; no machine can produce a work of art, with the subtleties and individualities that hand weaver can provide.
