I think they stopped using them when knit fabrics became so popular. You couldn't get an accurate measument on those things with a knit because it would pull through the machine. I used to manage a Joann fabrics and we had those measure graph machines and they took them out at one point because of the new knit fabrics.

Yea I remember those machines, only I remember them from when department stores used to sell fabric. They had a brown crinkle finish, and the clerk would sometimes move the fabric back and forth to gett on point before she pushed the lever down which clipped the fabric, THEN they TORE it!!!!!
