I remember that machine! I can't remember the name of the store - wasn't a quilter, sewed clothes back then. I told my daughter today that when I started sewing I made my clothes to save money, then it changed to sewing so I could have what I wanted.

My first sewing purchases were measured with those "machines". I think their use was discontinued with the explosion of knits/double knits that couldn't be measured through them because of the stretch qualities.

I remember them, too. I wonder how stores don't use them anymore?

My mother used one of these machines when she measured fabrics at the local department store. It was fun to watch her using the machine.
