Clover 9506 5 in 1 Sliding Gauge with Nancy Zieman

Its much better than the metal gauge Ive used for a long time. I love how the slider has a push button, so it doesnt move around so easily. Its more flimsy than I was expecting, but I still find it to be a great product and Ill be using it a lot in my future sewing projects.

If you sew and have used other gauges with a slide and have had the little slide move when youre using it, this is for you. It is made very well and DOES NOT slip when you are using it. Yes it is a little more pricey, but well worth it. If you are a quilter this is a must have, and if you just sew in general it is a valuable tool.

Works good, but I wish the hole (for compus-use) was a bit bigger so I could fit my Frixion pen. Its a great function half wasted. Looks a lot sturdier, but it is all plastic, so dont get disappointed that it isnt metal. You could snap it if you try hard enough. On the other hand, it will snap instead of bend if you put too much force on it somehow, which means unless you do, it will not bend like the cheap thin sheet metal gauges you can get for $1.

When I ordered this gauge I wasnt sure I would like it. It was so different than the one Id used for years. Now, I dont think Id go back to my older styled one. I prefer the ease and versatility of this sliding gauge.

You can slide the green slider up, even without holding down the ‘PUSH’ button. Expected it to lock and keep its position till you push the white ‘PUSH’ button area to move it up or down.

Used this to replace a cheap seam gauge that was problematic and I am so glad I did! This one is sooooo much better. Very strudy and locks in place, making checking seam allowances way faster.

It was just as advertised and works great.

Works well. just like the one my grandmother taught me to use, basically.

I just used this to shorten a pair of denim jeans keeping the original hem. Im completely sold on this gauge, it locks in place, Id always used the old metal slide gauge and constantly had to readjust the slide to the correct measurement . This 5-1 is fantastic. Watch the YouTube demos online they encouraged me to give this a try and Im sure glad it now lives in my sewing room :0)

I was hoping that this gauge was self explanitory. It works, for sure, but I will have to keep the card that it is attached to in order to utilize all of this gadgets capabilities.
