Clover 9506 5 in 1 Sliding Gauge with Nancy Zieman

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.

Ive only used this for hemming so far but found the wide gauge much easier (and faster) to use than the old-style hem gauges.

I love this thing! I love that it locks in and wont slide around like the crappy one I had from my local fabric store.

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.

there are warnings that it might break if I do such and such with it. In a sewing room its going to see some action, I cannot be careful with it for fear of breakage. The plastic is flimsy, and is even worse because it, as most sewing gauges are, is split down the middle. It is rather pricey given the durability. It will be good for making circles as it has a hole in the one end for a pin and different markings along the edge for various sized circles, but I dont do that often. For now Ill stick with my metal gauge. (this is NOT a kitchen item, really should be in crafts or hobbies)

As described

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

I do like this as it is easy to use and glides easily to measurements and yet does not move out of place when using on fabric

So helpful and accurate. Good product.

While I am not sure that I would choose this tool to as a compass (one of its stated functions), I do like it very well and a button hole spacer (absent using a Simflex) and measuring device for hems etc. standard, excellent Clover quality. I am pleased with the purchase.
