Good thing I always buy a little extra. Maybe they use a different yard stick. Grrr. |
I remember it at JC Penney.

Yep, I saw one in action about a year ago at our local Hancock's in the drapery dept! I don't know that they still have it though.

You'd think so but sometimes the fabric would get doubled up and the measurement would be off.

I bought off Ebay a few yrs ago. Nostalgia.

I remember those. I used those to measure fabric when I worked at So-Fro fabrics. They eventually got rid of them because they found that if you didn't pull the fabric at the right speed you either had to much or to little fabric especially with knit fabrics. Our store manger preferred that we didn't use them.

Yes I remember that, don't know why they ever quit using it. At least you were assured of accurate yardage and a straight cut.
|
I remember seeing them when I was really little. Guess they could be a collectible now-? :)
|
I remember that! Cloth World had one! Don't know what it was called though!
