My MIL made utilitarian quilts out of necessity and used what ever she had to use. She worked at a garment factory in New Orleans and that is where she got the drop offs and short cuts. I have several of her quilts that have lots of Polyester in them and I have been collecting polyester fabric for some replica quilts.
The nice thing about having vintage machines is that one of mine has the stretchy stitch for Polyester. :wink:
