I worked in a garment factory the summer after I graduated from high school which made nightgowns. I was moved to a lot of different machines because I was a quick learner. I ended up doing free motion appliqué to sew lace down the front of fancy sets. There was clear thread on the top and off white to match the lace on the bottom. I was so bored that I started writing words and names in the lace backward so you could read them faintly on the back of the lace. Everyone I knew had their name on a nighty. I always wondered if someone found a name while folding their laundry. I stared at the time clock every day willing the time to go by. It was a great incentive to go to college!
