I flunked Home Ec., because the teacher didn't believe I could do the work. I did explain to her that my family business was in the garment industry ...... family owned and ran a garment factory ..... I was taught at a young age to use the industrial sewing machines (with lots of supervision ) and felt that the home sewing machines used at school were toys compared to what I normally used. She didn't like that I not only used the industrial straight stitch but also used a serger for my seams and a blind hem machine for my hem, as well as the button hole & button machines.
