Clover 9506 5 in 1 Sliding Gauge with Nancy Zieman

Ive only used this for hemming so far but found the wide gauge much easier (and faster) to use than the old-style hem gauges.

One of the handiest sewing gadgets there is. I give one to every grandkid with an interest in sewing.

Fell apart after a month of light use. Returning.

This is my second one. The first one I used my rotary cutter with--dont do that! I cut part of the flat part off so hence, the second one. It is very handy and locks into place so it doesnt move unless you want it to.

As described

I LOVE this tool! I have been making shades which required a lot of seams and hems to be very accurately measured. I love that this gauge locks into place so there is no drifting as you use it multiple times. I have not yet tried the circular drawing capability, but I did check it out just a bit. The spot where you hold it steady is designed such that, even though you are holding it down firmly, the radial parts still moves quite freely, so it should work well. It is just a little more flexible than I thought it would be but so far that has not proven to be an issue at all.

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 bought this seam gauge because of the affiliation with Nancy, the Clover brand, and it looked like it could really do all that it said. I was a little disappointed when I took it out of the packaging, because its a little flimsy and the push button mechanism looks and feels like it could break easily, if you dont baby it. I would have paid more to have a better product that I feel would last longer!

This is not the usual measuring gauge that I am use to using so it is taking me a little longer to get use to this one. But, I do like the versatility that this gauge gives me and look forward to being able to use it more.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this tool!! I have been purchasing the Dritz metal sewing rulers and since I sew daily I found they are very poorly made, it has been so frustrating because all the ink rubs off the ruler within a few months the quality is horrible. NOW I am so excited to have a good quality ruler AND most importantly the design is genius! You will love this ruler!
