What is it?

Let’s just take a minute and think about the actual process of your last sewing project. You’ve measured, marked and cut your most treasured fabric into the required component pieces. With great care you’ve pinned those fabric sections together just like you wanted. All is well. Now you’re ready to put it all together. You sit down at your sewing station, switch on your amazing sewing machine and start to put stitches to fabric. This is the scary part though because it’s now becoming more or less permanent. Adjustments are problematic. Mistakes now mean all that extra time to remove errant stitches and replace them. Is it worth it to make one last quality control measurement check? You bet. So grab your ruler, find your tape measure, locate your hemline gauge and secure your button hole gauge. And that’s just the beginning of a list of potential measuring devices that could be used to make all those final checks before the stitches go in. Or, or you can just reach for the Seams Right measuring device. Check all of your measurements with one, easy to handle, easy to see measuring tool that does it all.

What do they do?

The Seams Right measuring gauge is perhaps the most useful measuring tool for sewing and knitting ever devised. The Seams Right is a virtual measurement reference tool in your hand. Everything we do in sewing and knitting requires some measuring function. Fashion, heirloom, quilting, home décor or crafts, they all require precise measurements. Some of the most important and helpful features of the Seams Right are:

The most often used measurements of 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, 5/8″, 3/4″ and 1″ are prominently marked with extended green tabs and are easy to identify. Those will cover most standard seam and hem allowances. Six interior measurements are also included for the more obscure measurements.
Its convenient size makes it easy to manipulate with one hand so you can mark with the other. This is especially useful when marking along curves or corners.
The button hole slot makes creating consistent button hole sizes a breeze.
Made of sturdy aluminum, the edges and corners can be used to shape and iron precise corners and creases into your fabric. It does get hot though so please exercise caution!
The 90 degree angles can also be used to check square seams for pockets, quilt blocks and appliqué.
It is especially useful when checking hems as they are pinned or sewn.

How do I share it?

The Seams Right has proven to be an extremely useful sewing tool. It makes all standard measurements quick, easy and accurate. Measure, confirm and then sew error free. Your seam ripper can safely be left in the bottom drawer. Place Seams Right gauges at the checkout counter and at demo sewing stations so they can be used in all demonstrations. Everyone will soon realize that they need one at their sewing station and travel bag. Once you have used one it’s definitely something you won’t ever want to be without.
