Clover 9506 5 in 1 Sliding Gauge with Nancy Zieman

Does exactly what its suppose, very nice wish it was metal though so it doesnt melt

I bought this a couple of months ago when I decided that I wanted to take sewing from simple mending to actual creations. Since then, I have recommended it to a friend and bought another one as a gift. This little gadget has saved me from buying 4 separate gadgets (5 if I ever need a compass). Its construction is sturdier than the alternative at my local sewing store and it is incredibly easy to use. I had to add hem allowances to a project that was 39x78 and this made it very easy and much quicker than I had anticipated; I never had to readjust the guides back into position because it has a lock mechanism where you have to purposefully press down a release button in order to move the guide to a new measurement. I love that it has two rulers - the static one on top and the adjustable just below which allowed me to ensure straight markings at all times and, in the case of a buttonhole, 2 markings at once. I used the button hole feature for marking the size and position where ribbon would come out of a gift bag. I simply placed the ribbon over the gauge and moved the ruler up to the bottom of the ribbon and took that to the fabric to make my markings. Once again, since it locks in place, it was very easy to make repetitive markings for various gifts bags without concern remeasuring. The narrow spacing in the middle allowed me to mark a straight line in the center to guide me between the ends of my button hole. I even used it at Christmas for my gift wrapping. I highly recommend this notion added to your sewing kit.

Bought as a replacement for an old hemmer which broke Can be used for a couple of different things. Easy to use and read Was a little more costly than others that appear to be the same. It had a better rating that is why I bought this one

I like that it locks where I need it to. Unlike my old little metal ones that never stayed exactly where I put them. Also like the nice wide end for marking up against.

This is a must have gadget for anyone that sews! I love that the top is wide for marking longer runs of fabric. The locking measurement slide is also so helpful as my older gauge would slip and I constantly had to make sure that I was still on the same depth for marking. A very useful tool.

nifty little tool. not as easy to use as I thought it would be. it is difficult to press the button to slide the measurement down. Im worried if I push to much it will break.

Great little measuring/marking tool. I love that its plastic and more durable than the thin metal ones that bend so easily.

Use this constantly as I am a garment sewer. Multiple uses. Check out various YouTube videos.

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

This is a great tool. I am a novice and this has been a great help to me. Very easy to use and I am more confident in my markings now. I wish it was a little stiffer plastic. I can deform the long, thin plastic slide guides when marking along them, but if I am careful it does not seem to be a problem.
