Oh yes, I remember those machines and wish they were still in use! I often think of them when I watch my material being measured out - can't imagine why they were phased out.

I remember them. Because I went many years without sewing, I didn't even notice they weren't there when I started buying fabric again. They kind of went the way of the x-ray machines they used in the shoe stores to see your feet inside the shoes. As a kid, I thought that was kinda cool too. I guess that's why my feet glow in the dark
My LQS still tears the fabric. I was told by the lady that taught my quilting class that you wound up with straighter fabric that way.

When I worked at Sew-Fro it was 1/4 yard that we could give away and between 1/4 and 1/2 yard for half price. It had to be written down though.
