Review on 🧵 Dritz Sewing Gauge - Enhanced for SEO: Nickel Finish with Black Imprinting and Adjustable Blue Slider by Doris Tran

I'm new to sewing and I can't calculate seam allowances in my life. I agree with 1/4 in seams and 1/2 in seams, but when they start breaking up into smaller numbers I get lost. This gauge is my lifeboat for seam allowances! Now I can easily determine where I want my seam to be and get it perfect. I'm sure it has dozens of uses other than just measuring seam allowances, but since learning to sew, that's exactly what I've been using it for. I highly recommend it for seams and for any measurements you are unfamiliar with. The sensor seems a bit weak, but I think it's on purpose. It has some flex, which is useful when trying to maneuver in weird places to gauge. A more experienced sewer could probably better explain what that value is. This is something I use so often that I keep it next to my sewing machine every time I sew.
