We used that machine at the T.G.&Y. I worked at back in H.S. Wow that takes me back. Yep, fabric was a whole lot cheaper back then and lasted forever.
We sold so much polyester it wasn't even funny. I remember the ladies coming in and saying they were also making quilts with the polyester. Yuk! or so I thought then. Now I see a quilt of polyester and laugh because they are still holding up really well and quite warm. :roll:
