You must read every word with SOME people as they will stretch the truth about an item to get you to raise the bidding greatly.   I have had this experience and have learned a real  BIG lesson.    When zig zag is mentioned, keep in mind that this was made available to homes in 1947.     Permanent press fabric was not made until the 1960  s.   I was ignorant about very old quilts and I believed every word  that was stated in the description.    NOT all true!!!!!!
