How to use the multi-function sewing ruler?
For measuring and drawing perfectly straight lines
With its large straight edge, you can easily draw lines. With the intermediate graduations, it will also be easy to draw parallel lines. With its graduation with 0 in the middle, you can easily measure, graduate and find the center between two points.
To measure curves
The entire curved part of the multifunctional sewing ruler is graduated in centimeters. This will make it easier for you to measure the length of a curve to estimate, for example, the length of a bias tape. You can also, based on your measurements, enlarge an armhole by as many centimeters as necessary, for example.
To draw ergonomic curves
The multifunctional sewing ruler combines the advantages of a straight edge and a parrot ruler. Using the large outer curve and the smaller curves inside the handle, you can create all kinds of curves. The varying degrees of curvature allow you to replicate those of the human body, making it possible to create anatomical curves for collars, hips, wrists, etc.
To add a seam allowance, even to a curve
The entire perimeter of the multi-function sewing ruler is marked with graduated marks that allow you to create a 5mm or 10mm seam allowance all around a pattern, even on a curve. These same marks are also present around the handle, allowing you to make these cutting marks on all degrees of curvature.
Draw 45° lines and mark a bias
By simply placing the marks forming a right angle on the straight grain of your fabric, you can create a 45° diagonal with the straight edge of the ruler. This can be particularly useful for making bias tape.
Making arcs and circles
The multi-function sewing ruler can also be used as a compass. It actually has holes that allow you to either place a point that will serve as a pivot or a pencil to trace the arc of the circle according to the desired radius. The different spacings allow circles of different radii.
The multi-function sewing ruler will be your ally for your sewing projects. If you were to have only one sewing ruler, this would be it! It is suitable for beginners as well as experienced users. Packed with many 100% useful tools, it will always be easily at hand to assist you in your drawings.
You can complete your marking kit with one of our water-erasable markers or our chalk pencils. Finish your lines with perfect cuts thanks to our range of scissors! If you make your own bias tape, our bias tools will help you fold them in the best way for use.
