I well remember Penny's selling fabric. When I was a kid I was facinated with the meter? that they run the fabric through and it measured the fabric correctly. I also remember when Sears catalog used to put postage size samples of their fabric in catalog..yes I am 80 years old so remember where a lot of places sold fabric. When I moved to Georgia in 1982 even Belk's sold fabric. Sure miss all the places that you could buy fabric.
