Thinking it over, I'm wondering why it would add to the cost. It's not like they're making them by hand so that straight lines are more convenient to measure out.

In fact, it's probably less complex than the current flag, and only uses two colours instead of three. It might turn out to be even cheaper to manufacture than the current flag.

(Not that it would make much difference either way. I doubt that the specifics of the design would contribute significantly to the cost of production.)

Most flags are simply printed, but the higher end ones can still be comprised of individually-stitched elements.

Yes.

I was trying to find out how common it is to see embroidered stars on Australian flags, but I made no progress. U.S. Flags with embroidered stars are relatively common; those flags also have individual stripes that are sewn together.

The aust flags I've used for proper ceremonial and display purposes have always had the stars embriodered onto the blue background.
