.gals would spread these patterns on the kitchn table to cut the fabric...

My wife still does. She works her Pfaff pretty hard. My sister started in her teen years. She bought a Singer as she was sick of my mother's treadle model (no electricity) Wheeler and Wilson.

I bought a machine and patterns etc....It was a total flop for me. No wonder I got D for sewing in school!
