Much Better Than Other Gauge Measuring Tools I've Used

The problem I've had with other similar tools is that the sliding mechanism loosens and doesn't keep the desired measurement. The Yeqin is much more stable. This gauge also has a much larger section (2.5" vs ~ .5" on other sewing gauges) to line up against the fabric, which, also contributes to accuracy. An added bonus is the extra measurements (i.e., the 1/4" and the 5/8" seam allowances on the stem) that make sewing-life a little easier.

My wife likes this alot more than her previous and not as wide hem line measure.

This is sturdier than the typical discount store hem measuring tool. A lot of that has to do with the greater width, yet not too large for functionality. Sewing though, except for hem and pant cuff shortening or simple repairs has been hurt by the reality that you can generally buy already sewn together clothing for less than buying fabric in the USA at retail for both. Most of today's sewing machines also have far too few metal gears and such with excessive reliance on plastic or nylon that will over a lifetime start to crumble even if never used. You can use if with a line making device such as a pen, pencil or chalk; pens; or hem clips. The only negative is it has only inch scale markings and so no centimeter markings. I find at least in home woodworking projects it is much easier to use and remember metric measurements. Eventually the USA will catch up with the rest of the world and change to the metric system, but if this hem marking tool is to be marketed globally it should either add centimeters to the inches, perhaps in a different color, or sell this is a 2 pack with one in metric and one in inches. I have long regretted the USA did not convert to the Metric System way back when I was still in school. Indeed one Mars probe NASA launched was lost due to a contractor error in converting between the old English measures and the metric measures universally used in science.

Nice little gadget

Another little gadget for my sewing room that I wanted. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to make the moving part to stop where I want and lock. I just have to push the opposite side of the push button. So "push" to slide, and push the opposite side - to lock. I hope it will help someone because there is no instructions. Other than that no complaints.

Better than my antique tool

I like the the fact that you have to press (not hard) on the button to move the slider. It prevents accidental movement and wrong measurement. It's also easier to red than my old one, and the swivel allows me to draw a perfect circle if needed.

Great Product. I recomend it for every serious quilter and seamstress!

I used this today on a quilt I am making. The quilt is hanging on my wall, on my ruled design wall. It was wonderful!! No trying to hold a heavy ruler up. I have seen complaints about it not holding the measurement, it does slide a bit. That issue was solved with a quilting clip. It worked perfectly. It is made of light weight plastic and would not withstand rough handling. However, I don't know why a quilter or a seamstress would need to defend themselves with it! Worth it's weight in gold. But, don't raise the price I'm going to buy one for my quilting niece!

Easy to use once you learn the markings and notches. Great for math impaired folks like me

The “0” is when you push it all the way forward gently one notch before the 1/2 mark. The black line by 1/4 is “0”. At the other end is a 5/8, 1/4, 1/8 marked in black lines. The clear circle below the marking might need to be on your fabric a little ways. The 8 clear notches pressed in the yellow plastic before “1” inch and starting at the 1/2 marker help you count back to 2/3, 5/8 gently pulling the green slider toward you. Be gentle with plastic and don’t let your people rough house with it.

So very helpful in measuring and keeping a hem straight ...

So very helpful in measuring and keeping a hem straight! Much easier than moving a ruler and having to align it each time.

SEWING GAUGE RULER

This is the best sewing gauge I have used in my 56 years of experience. I wish I had owned one sooner! It slides but locks smoothly, is easier to read and more accurate. I plan on purchasing more to use in my sewing studio and travel kit.

wonderful item

Having used straight pins for years a video directed me to these clips I LOVE THEM.........they work wonderfully Great seller promptly shipped Highly recommended

You can never have enough of a good idea!

Makes it easier to do those sometimes difficult measurements when I have to shorten curved hems. This gauge has bigger slides on it to line the bottom of the fabric on as well as to line up the top of where you need to use as your starting point. Soooo you can really get a clear idea of what you're doing. I had one before and liked it so much that I'm getting another one to have with my travel sewing.
