CUTTING MATERIAL
IF ONE STARTS TO CUT MATERIAL FOR A PIECE OF CLOTHING
ON A FRIDAY, THAT OUTFIT WILL NEVER GET COMPLETELY
SEWED.
Submitter comment:
THIS BELIEF HAS BEEN CARRIED OVER FROM EUROPE, WHERE
THE SYSTEM IN THE CLOTHING FACTORIES IS TO CUT MATERIAL
ON MONDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, AND TO SEW THE
THINGS CUT THAT WEEK ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THEY
WOULD QUIT WORK AFTER EVERYTHING WAS SEWED ON
FRIDAY RATHER THAN CUT MORE BECAUSE THEY NEVER
KNEW WHEN THEY WOULD HAVE TIME AGAIN TO SEW THAT.
