When I was sewing, my mother would tell me a story about 2 brothers whose wives made all their clothes by hand. One wife was lazy and made her husband's shirts with long stitches; she would hurry through her work. The other wife was very industrious and made her husband's shirts with tiny stitches; it took longer but the shirts wore much longer. The two men went out hunting one day and came upon a bear. The bear chased the men until they were exhausted. The man with the shirt of tiny stitches got away. The man with the shirt of long stitches got caught on a tree branch because his shirt was ripping away and was eaten by the bear. Guess you know that my stitches are tiny!
