Clover’s 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge

When it comes to cooking, cleaning, crafting, or sewing, we LOVE a multitasking tool. Don’t get us wrong, specialized tools hang all over our studio walls (and even have assigned slots in drawers), but multitaskers like us tend to live in our going-out bags, on the sides of our workspaces, and on the arms of the couch. This is precisely where you’ll find the Clover 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge! This genius little tool is not only what we use for measuring hems and seam allowances (which it does accomplish super easily and with accuracy), but it’s also a multifaceted companion designed to assist with all our projects. With its ability to measure seam allowances, accurately mark buttonholes, work as a circle compass, and even draw sashiko patterns and quilting lines, it streamlines our process and allows us to focus on what matters: bringing our creative visions to life!

 

The 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge is a deceptively simple measuring tool with an adjustable sliding arm that locks into place at 1/8 in increments. This allows us to effortlessly measure distances, making it a breeze to mark accurate measurements for hems, quilt blocks, and also draw sewing/cutting lines for all our half-square triangle blocks. Don’t even get us started on the compass! The compass enables us to draw a perfect circle (up to 6 in diameter), and anyone who’s ever drawn a circular sashiko pattern can appreciate this amazing feature!

 

Whether you’re a sewist, quilter, crafter, embroiderer, or if you’re piecing together a quilt, crafting a garment, or just doing a little visible mending, this tool BELONGS IN YOUR SEWING KIT! If you’re looking to enhance your crafting experience and achieve precise measurements with ease, the Clover 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge might just become your new bestie in the world of fabric and thread 🙂
