Grand dad did piece work and dad used them with a treadle on a large fold out table. Mom got one and dad and I motorised it and put a thigh switch on it. I came home with a new jacket years ago, dad looked at it, took it from me, took it apart and resewed the whole thing to his satisfaction. He started as a sewer and a Schneider{cutter} and ended up repairing and running the whole place. he could put his hand on a pile of leather and tell you how many coats could be made. If you bought a leather coat from Sears years ago he made it, as he was their subcontractor nation wide.
They are all gone now.
