Dritz 7 Point Turner Seam Gauge, Nickel with Black Printing and Blue Slider

Its fantastic!!

this is a great little item. I find uses for it all over the house. its smaller than a retractable tape measure so not so cumbersome for small jobs. the sliding guide helps keep your measurement consistent

My preference for steam gauge is either an Omnigrid ruler, a piece of cardboard cut to the actual shape of the hem that I want to make (that I then roll the hem over and then press over), or for actual measurement the Nancy Zieman gauge that adjusts. But considering this item is only two dollars its a really good compromise. It also can be used as a point Turner- although my fist preference is a dedicated point Turner made out of hard plastic, or a Bodkin, or a chopstick, or varous seaming techniques. But for a combo item for beginners, it cant be beat.

Very thin. Bends really easily. Otherwise, it does the job.

Its flimsy and the slide moves with the slightest of touches but for its purpose it doesnt have to be fabulous.

Excellent product...longer than the old ones. And extremely accurate....cant go wrong with Dritz!

I purchased this elsewhere after misplacing another one that had lasted for over 20 years. This one fell apart the first time I used it. The slider is plastic, held in place by a tiny metal clip spring that fits underneath the loop on the slider. The spring fell out, and now it is entirely useless. Very disappointed, to say the least! Hope my other gauge turns up.

Keep this gauge handy for sewing and quilting tasks, such as: ◦Space and place buttonholes and buttons accurately ◦Measure and mark seam allowances with adjustable 1/8 notched increments ◦Get straight and even hem measurements every time ◦Create perfect circles with the circle compass feature ◦Hem gauge ◦Circle compass ◦Buttonhole spacer ◦Seam allowance gauge Nancy Zieman clearly demonstrates how to use the gauge to draw circles of any size in the free YouTube video, and its so easy. You place a pin inside the tiny hole at the bottom to anchor the gauge to your fabric, set the radius by clicking on the green tab to lock it in, place your pencil in the slot above the green tab, and turn the gauge as you draw the circle. The video also shows all the other uses of the gauge. To watch the video simply click on the Watch Video

Not much to say, it does what its supposed to, not as flimsy as most are.

Handy little gadget! Love the corner point turner ! My corners look more professional now!
