I also learned to sew (garments) in Home Ec. Since I have been quilting, I have had to unlearn a lot of what I learned in Home Ec. There are much easier and better ways to do a lot of things than the ways I was taught in Home Ec. Of course that was a "few" years ago and methods and tools have improved a lot since then.
