"Quality . . . ???"

When we did our errands this week, Sarah had to stop at Macy's to pay her bill, so while she was doing that, I browsed a bit. A rack of black embroidered skirts caught my eye. The price was $89 . . . but they certainly weren't worth that! I have never seen such shoddy embroidery on a RTW garment. There were no underlying stitches beneath the sparse satin stitches, so you could see right through to the fabric. I've seen better machine embroidery at WalMart . . . I expect more, not only for $89, but for Macy's. I guess that's why I sew for myself.
