I forgot to write that the unusual feature about these sewing birds is that previously clamps were used to hold the fabric and the clamp screw had to be turned and loosened to move the fabric. These sewing birds were a clamp base with a spring biased second clamp on top, so that the seamstress squeezed the portions of the top clamp to loosen a hold on the fabric. Much faster and easier.
