measuring fabric
#11
I used to work at the Singer store in the Park City Mall, Lancaster, PA, and that is how we used to measure the fabric. It was fast and accurate. I also remember that we had shelves in the back full of trade in featherweights. Wonder what happened to them?

I remember that gadget too from when I was a little girl. Our local JCPenney sold fabric and used one of those measuring devices. It even made a little snip where the saleslady would then cut or tear.

Oh Goodness...Brings back memories. The JC Pennys has the fabric in the basement and I remember being so excited when Mom needed fabric because I loved watching the lady pull the fabric through that thing and I always wanted to see the "clock" looking measuring part. Fun childhood memories.
