Does anyone remember?
Years ago, when I first started sewing, the JoAnn's store in town was in a small strip mall. I remember when I would bring the fabric to the cutting table, they had a machine that they would run the fabric edge thru to measure the amount to be purchased, instead of measuring it against a ruler on the cutting table. Does anyone remember these machines? Or what they were called? And why they stopped using them?? Just wondering......

Great memory, DebraK! They WERE made by Measuregraph, and still are actually.

In fact, there's a compact one on eBay right now (current bid is only $18 - would be great for measuring a large stash).

Yes I remember them. I used to use them at a fabric store where I worked. And I also remember JoAnns was "Fabric by the Yard" first before they were bought out by JoAnns.
