Madam Sew Seam Allowance Ruler & Magnetic Seam Guide for Sewing Machine | Perforated Seam Guide Ruler & Gauge for Perfect 1/8”- 2” Straight Line Hems | Includes 1/4” Pivot Point & 45 Degree Trim Line

This ruler gadget tickled me. Easy to find, store, and use. Seam gauge works well, is nicer than many others.

I’ve really enjoyed the seam allowance ruler, and the magnetic same guide. This has been the easiest and most accurate way to make sure that my seams are accurate.

Great product love it

Haven't used the measure guide, but the magnetic piece is so helpful. I'm an average sewer, basically doing hems. And not always straight. Being missing this for too long.

This makes so many projects SOO much easier. Turned me from a hero to a zero on the sewing machine.

Love not having my Foot petal slide off,, works great.

Product arrived ahead of schedule and was exactly as described

I learned to sew using seam guides that screw into a little hole to the right of the throat plate. I found my various sized little metal guides very useful for sewing straight and also curved seams. Basically, you just hold the fabric gently and carefully along the guide. Sewing curves takes a little technique, but using a guide correctly really helps you get nice results. Not just by eyeballing it! I bought another sewing machine recently, a computerized Brother, that lacked a proper hole for using my trusted guides. The machine sews very well, but I have found it tricky sometimes to sew a measured allowance. For narrow seams you can use the width of the presser foot as appropriate. The machine manual has some settings and suggestions. The needle can be moved to various positions left to right. For someone used to old style mechanical machines, this new machine can be a little confusing or complicated at times! It still takes time to figure out exactly what the alignment should be for your chosen seam allowance. However, if you are sewing items with a 5/8" seam allowance, especially, here is where the Madam sew seam guide excels. The ruler can help you figure out exactly where to place your magnetic guide for your allowance. The magnet holds really well and does not damage your machine. Do be careful as you lower your needle into the little hole on the ruler, so as not to break or bend your needle! You will then see where to place the magnetic guide for the accurate seam allowance. The ruler has many seam allowance choices. I find the markings on the throat plate a bit awkward and short to use as visual guides, and these new machines have a lot of plastic. The top loading bobbin and its cover get in the way of longer seam line markings. And it still matters where your needle is positioned. Anyway, I have found that this little set is helpful.

Excellent sewing tool for accurate seam allowances. Every sewist should have one.

Whoever invented this, well done. I’ve always used a simple block of wood, but the needle and magnetic block are just a brilliant combo. The plastic needle guide is so easy to use and the magnet is VERY strong. Sometimes I struggle moving it! Lol! Very pleased with this and highly recommend any sewers out there using machines to invest in one of these.

Good price.

I love the ruler. It is very useful for a somewhat new sewer. And the magnet is great and very powerful. Trust me, it does not slip with use.
