Description
For hems, spacings and seam allowances that should come out the same every time. The stated size is 3.5 cm. Sold as a single item. Produced from steel, plastic.
Two measurements at different points reveal whether the length really lies straight — which saves unpicking later. In patchwork small inaccuracies add up across many pieces — which is why it pays to measure once more there. A measuring tool belongs stored flat; once bent, its edge is no longer true. The pack states the size, so buying more later stays easy. Anyone sewing regularly likes to keep such notions in duplicate.
What Prym measuring aid in Silver is suitable for
- Cutting lengths of fabric
- Patchwork and quilting
- Stepping off even intervals
Frequently asked questions
How do I measure accurately?
Lay the fabric flat, do not pull, and check at two points. Knits deceive most: under tension they measure several centimetres more than they hold in the finished piece.
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 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.
What if it slips?
Small silicone stoppers underneath hold the tool in place. Otherwise it already helps to lay the second hand flat instead of using fingertips. A sheet of sandpaper under the ruler also holds it surprisingly well.
