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......

Yes, they were called Measuregraphs or something like that. Maybe that was the name of the company that made them.
|
Yes, I do remember them!!
|
Great memory, DebraK! They WERE made by Measuregraph, and still are actually.

Yes i remember
|
I remember them in many stores that sold fabric (I am old enough to remember when Sears sold fabric, lol!)
|
Oh yes! I remember those machines. It was fun to watch the clerk pull the fabric through.. then wiggle it back and forth to get the exact amount. Good memory! :cool:
|
Wonder why they stopped using them too..I am really feeling old now remembering them!! We didn't have a Joannes when I was younger, but I remember those from where my mother bought her fabric
|
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.
|
I think in Nashville, JoAnn's was called Cloth World or maybe JoAnn's bought them out. And yes I too remember the "machine". Isn't it funny how we forget about things we haven't seen for a while?
