I see u have the name of it already. But I do remember that machine when I bought fabric at SIRS in Fayetteville, Tn.
|
I remember them also. Our local J.C. Pennys had one. I guess this sort of dates some of us doesn't it. It too wish they still used them. I think they were more accurate than the way we measure fabric today.
|
I sure do remember that. Oh those were the days!
|
I remember it also, it was in our JC Penneys basement. I would go with my mom! Such good memories. I never did know the name of it.
|
I, too, remember the "gadget"! I believe I saw it in use at JC Penny's as well.
|
I used one of these at the job I got after graduating from college in 1974 and needed money, not able to to find a job using my degree until about 8 months later. It worked great! If you went to far, you could back up and take off a few inches as long as you did not remove fabric first. It was fast, accurate way to measure fabric. You notched it and then tore or cut the fabric across.
|
I used to work in a fabric store back in the day. We used one. The place that sells upholstry material still uses something similar but more high tech. Does anyone still remember typewriters? LOL
|
They still use that machine in Joann's to measure and cut the wide decorator fabrics.
|
I remember. JC Penney's, Woolworth's, Kmart, Bargain City.
Used to be a lot of places to buy fabric, now I hear they're going to close our one Joann's |
yep, I remember too- haven't thought about that in years- I wonder why they don't use them anymore? Seems like it was quick.
