Don't know why but I cringe when people talk about 'setting' pieces instead of 'set-in', which is a seamstress' term. It probably started due to a teacher not pronouncing the words correctly or the student not listening.

Also I used to think quilts as I know them now were 'glorified' blankets, as quilts in my younger days were the poorer persons' doonas, filled with shredded cotton threads - and boy they were heavy when washed and wet.
