This little handy measuring tool is perfect for checking small measurements when you are quilting or sewing. Use this guide for checking hem depth, making sure you’re using the seam allowance you want or marking small intervals between pleats or buttonholes.


This gauge has 12 sewing measurements in inches, from 1/4 to 2 inches. Every common seam and hem allowance in sewing and quilting is integrated in this little ruler. 

Check how far your needle is positioned to the edge of your presser foot and verify the exact seam allowance. It’s a valuable aid for many dressmaking tasks. Use it for measuring & marking necklines, armholes, miter corners, buttonholes, hemlines, side seams, pleats & tucks.


Each square protrusion is a different width. Just find the measurement you need and hold that protrusion against your pattern or on your fabric to mark or fold that exact width. 

8 Marked distances:

1/4", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 1", 1-1/8", 1-1/4", 1-3/8”, 

+ 4 extra non-marked distances:

 3/8", 1-1/2", 1-5/8", 2"


The ruler has a small hole in the middle, so you can attach it to a key ring, or hang it on a hook in your sewing room.

This thin aluminium sewing gauge ruler is lightweight, yet very durable and best of all, it is heat resistant and thus ironable! Just press directly on the ruler and you can start sewing right away.


Keep your work accurate! You always have the correct dimensions in sight and this tool makes it quicker to mark them. We can’t imagine why anyone would NOT want to use this.


Size: Approx. 2 ¼ inch x 2 ¼ inch (5.8 cm x 5.8 cm)

Henry ★★★★★

I keep this right by my machine and it finally stopped me from eyeballing my 1/4 inch seam allowance. Checking hem depth on a skirt took about two seconds instead of hunting for a tape measure. Small thing, but it lives in my sewing box now.

Ryan ★★★★★

The little sliding marker makes it so easy to set the same hem depth over and over without second-guessing myself. I’ve been using it for seam allowances on every project this week and it’s already saved me from ripping out crooked stitches twice.

Hannah N. ★★★★★

I was skeptical it would actually help with my inconsistent seam allowances, but the clear markings are so easy to read that I've stopped second-guessing every hem I press. It's small enough to keep right in my sewing basket, which means I actually use it now instead of hunting for a ruler.
