I tried to "eyeball" before this Sewing Gauge was in my hand. Now, I cannot work without it, it is so helpful. The hemming is even and any other edges or measurements are also even. What an improvement to an amateur sewing. This helps make sewn products look professionally made.

Very handy indeel

Very well made and should last a lifetime. Very helpful in that you can press right over the gauge. It doesn't leave a sharp crease, but enough that you can slide it to the next section and firmly press the part you just left and then repeat. I haven't found that the curved section has been as helpful for me as the straight, but I am guessing that I will someday be very grateful for it.

Multiple features minor sharp edges

This is also a point turner, which can save you money. “0” is the first line before 1 not the top of the triangle, for people like me who get confused easily. You can do seams with your iron, just beware of the heated metal. The ruler has some unintended semi- sharp edges, so be careful and keep it away from the kids.

Very sturdy!

I guess it's a little strange to be so impressed by a ruler. I bought this because I use my old sewing gauge all the time, but it's never at the right place when I need it. So I happened to see this newer style, and I bought it to have another one around. I expected it to be flimsier than my much older one that I've had forever. But surprise! It is sturdier! I love it so much, I think I'll buy another one, and then hopefully I will have one at each machine.

Makes sewing so much easier

I was having a hard time folding and ironing perfect measurements from point A to B and pinning was getting annoying really fast. I saw a YouTube use this and I knew I had to get one! I'm so glad I did! My only complaint is I wish there was also a half inch marker instead of a 5/8 or both. I commonly use a half inch, but I just eyed it and it works great regardless. I definitely recommend this!

An important tool for every sewing kit to have.

This is a pretty standard measuring tool that every serious seamstress should have in their kit. I used one just like it for 15+ years, and am just now replacing it after the measurement lines have been worn off from constant use. Checked against other rulers and the measurements are accurate. Slide works smoothly and stays in place well. These little Dritz rulers are a great quality tool!

Quality product

The one I bought at Walmart doesn’t stay on the mark. Have to keep and eye on it to make sure it doesn’t move. This one is perfect!

Helps with a laborious task

I am not the most precise seamstress on the planet, so I need every little bit of help I can get to have things turn out nicely. Using the ezy-hem gauge helps me to get every part of the hem folded up at the same measurement. You iron right over it so the fabric folds on it and you can measure your hem constantly. You do have to watch your fingers since the metal gets hot. I was working with a type of wool blend that snaps back out of a press easily, so as I took each section off of this hem gauge after pressing, I pinned it. I then sewed a catch stitch hem by hand. This turned out very nice and even. This is a tool I will continue to use.

Dritz EZY Hem Gauge

Purchased as a present for my better half, her old Dritz hem gauge was worn and after 7 years it was time to grab her a shiny new one with legible measures. She's happy with the little surprise. Quality products that last, thank you.

This makes pressing hems so much easier!! You can iron right over it.. steam obviously will fog up the ruler, and you shouldn't touch this right away after ironing over it, it gets pretty hot. My hems look so much nicer after purchasing this!
