In reply to Josh and to follow up on this post, from the second wool bunting on, at least the leading edge is machine sewn. The flag of the 14th Alabama Infantry WD347 is a 7th wool bunting. It is entirely machine sewn including the stars. We do not have close up photos nor do I have the time to take any in the near future. Photographs of all of our flags along with provenance reconstructions are available on the on line version of my flag report. Go to the Alabama Department of Archives and History home page, click on index then Civil War flags.
