Does anyone know what a "fuller" is?
Not the name of a person or an object, but seems to be an activity. Any idea?

It must be the occupation of filling something up, maybe just like stuffing things.

Would that be correct to say:

"The fuller at the store where fulling the clothes with a fuller."
I know it's not very probable to fill up clothes with a hammer... What do you think?
