Just because you have a technology, or the potential for it, does not
mean people were using it for that purpose at that time. A cranked
pinker in the early 19th-century for home use is a technological
possibility, but so is a two-sided punch. I was hoping someone on the
list had definite info.

that once the mechanization of the sewing machine was accomplished , how
rapidly some of the same technology would be accommodated to other sewing
room tasks. Pinking would certainly have been one of them...Then again,
mayhap the technology got applied in the opposite order?
