I remember when I worked at Woolco and I would help out in the fabric dept. using those. You wonder why they don't use them anymore. It was a very fast way to get the fabric cut and measured.

Our Joann's uses it in the home dec department. It is pretty slick!

You are bringing back memories for me. I remember them from when I first learned to sew.

I worked in the fabric dept. at Penney's when I was in high school. I have not thought about those measuring things for over 30 years! Thanks for the memory.

Oh, I remember JC Penneys fabric store and the machine, too!! Isn't it funny what we forget until someone brings it up? Terrific memories!

That looks even more updated than the one I remember using in college at "Mailmans" dept. store!

Exactly what I was going to say. They never cut the fabric but tore it from the little cut made by the machine.
I think that maybe some of us are showing our age here. lol

I remember that item as well. It was the best thing and not only did it give you the little cut to Tear the fabric, the tear was much straighter than most cuts.
