Clover 9506 5 in 1 Sliding Gauge with Nancy Zieman

I had to buy three of these I love them that much! This is the very best seam gauge Ive ever used. The center is 1/8, one half is 1/4, and the whole bar is 5/8. It makes it so easy and painless to mark seams and do quick measuring. The hem guide locks in so you are consistently measuring as you mark. This has become my favorite sewing notion in my craft room!

Bought as a replacement for an old hemmer which broke Can be used for a couple of different things. Easy to use and read Was a little more costly than others that appear to be the same. It had a better rating that is why I bought this one

Versatile.

I had trouble keeping the sliding marker in position on my old ruler. The slider on this one stays in place with a ratchet-like holder. Theres a button release to allow you to move the place holder. Im going to love this little ruler.

Nice, larger than the older style seam gauges. The slide could be tighter - it moves a bit too easily, so I took off a star.

I upgraded from my old black metal seam gauge and I really like the longer arms on this one. It makes ironing up seam or hem allowances more accurately. Like it so well I bought a second one for my other machine and class.

It arrived promptly. This sliding gauge was purchased for a sewing class. It is higher on Nancy Ziemans website, plus shipping & handling so I was pleased to find it on Amazon. It is a useful, but not a tremendously necessary, tool for me, except for following instructions in the sewing class. It seems to be a popular tool and you as a seamstress may find it more to your liking than do I.

Works good, but I wish the hole (for compus-use) was a bit bigger so I could fit my Frixion pen. Its a great function half wasted. Looks a lot sturdier, but it is all plastic, so dont get disappointed that it isnt metal. You could snap it if you try hard enough. On the other hand, it will snap instead of bend if you put too much force on it somehow, which means unless you do, it will not bend like the cheap thin sheet metal gauges you can get for $1.

A little confusing at first simply because it is so different from the old style. Getting to love this gauge!

Very versatile tool that I plan to use to draw lines for consistent calligraphy spacing, and as a measuring and tracing ruler for papercrafting. The sliding measure glides smoothly and will allow for quick and easy measurement markings. I can also see possibilities for marking bookbinding holes spaced at certain distances.
