Transparent, so the fabric stays visible beneath: that way you hit the line you mean. It measures 30 cm × 10 cm. Sold as a single item. Made from 100 % resin.
Every cut starts with a measurement: measure wrong once and you cut wrong twice, with the fabric lost. A measuring tool belongs stored flat; once bent, its edge is no longer true. Marking the seam allowance at the same time removes guesswork at the machine and hits the edge reliably. These notions fit any sewing drawer and come to hand quickly.
What Prym Bügellineal transparent 10x30 cm 611491 is suitable for
- Cutting lengths of fabric
- Marking hems and seam allowances
- Patchwork and quilting
Frequently asked questions
Is it good for patchwork?
Yes, provided the edges are true and the tool lies flat. In patchwork repeatability counts for more than a single millimetre. Always working from the same edge keeps the deviation small by itself.
How should it be stored?
Flat and with no load on top. A bent ruler pulls every cut askew, and it usually shows only when pieces refuse to match. Hung on a hook, a long ruler stays true the longest.
How do I clean it?
Wipe with a damp cloth, no scouring agents. Chalk dust and lint otherwise settle in the figures and make the scale unreadable. Let it dry before it goes back in the drawer, or it collects dust.
Do I add the seam allowance?
Only if the pattern does not include it. Many patterns already do; a look at the instructions settles it faster than any sum on the fabric.
