Cool pen, the Victorians/Edwardians also had their own little nifty gadget. The tuck marker. An attachment that went on sewing machines that when you sewn down a tuck it marked where the next would go. then you can just fold along the mark and carry on. I have one, they work well!

That is interesting, doo you have a picture of this attachment? I would be interested to see

[@goodwifelucy5602]

@@goodwifelucy5602 Hmm I thought I posted a pic to Mel already! Sorry it seems to of either got ate, or TH-cam deleted it because of a link. Simply google "Singer tuck marker" and click the image tab. They are very common! if your machine is low shank, it just might fit. Worth a try! There are also videos of it in action as well on TH-cam.

@@zombiedoggie2732 thanks for answering! Off to look that up now then. What a fascinating idea though. Just shows that nothing ever really is new though. The Victorians not only celebrated the innovations& achievements of their age but took the greatest of pride in their work. They didn't just build to last,they made them beautiful as well ☺️
