Clover 9506 5 in 1 Sliding Gauge with Nancy Zieman

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.

Nancy Zieman is a 21st century sewing genius! This little gadget is light years beyond the old fashioned Dritz measuring gauge because you can click the slider to lock the measurement into place. I use my 5 in 1 Sliding Gauge all the time, especially on tailoring projects. Its so easy to use and so handy.

VERY useful sewing table tool. I have had the standard metal sliding sewing gauge for decades and this one is a great improvement. Glad I purchased it.

Very handy. Ive had it a while but just started using it when I found out my 4-thread serged stitch was really 3/8 wide. Sure enough that is what it measured. That 1/2 added on 4 seams really does change the fit plus I had added about 1/4 to all the seams to serge off. No wonder the fit was too small. Also, its much easier and smaller to keep handy by the machines rather than a long ruler.

This tool certainly does the job its advertised to do. Ive never used a tool like this before, and I just find the gauge a little hard to read. I have to keep checking it against a ruler to remind myself where on the device youre supposed to measure from. I like that the pieces of the sliding gauge dont move around, but I find it a bit difficult to release the mechanism to set it to the distance I want. The button is just hard to push. But, still, it has a job to do and it does it adequately.

I find this Sliding Gauge extremely useful when Im doing various quilting tasks. Making sure the applique is centered or the sashings & boarders are even, and so many more tasks required during the making of a quilt. I would recommend this for anyone doing any type of sewing.

Stronger plastic.

Measuring is probably my least favorite part of sewing. However, this sliding gauge has made it a lot easier to get accurate measurements when cutting fabric with my rotary cutter and mat. I use it along with a clear ruler, and it really helps. The locking feature makes it a lot easier to get accurate measurements. Ive also used a metal ruler with a plastic piece that didnt lock. This one is much better.

Great sewing tool! The sliding guide part works well & it has lots of different measuring marks which is very useful.

This really helped me get an even hem on an open-weave fabric with wavy threads. Easy to use. Lightweight but seems sturdy.
