Description
A measuring aid for short distances — faster than a tape and more accurate than the eye. The size comes to 4 cm × 11.5 cm. Sold as a single item. The material is plastic.
Hems, cuffs and seam allowances can be marked evenly without recalculating each time. Marking the seam allowance at the same time removes guesswork at the machine and hits the edge reliably. The fabric lies flat and untensioned while measuring; stretched knits otherwise measure longer than they later are. Anyone sewing regularly likes to keep such notions in duplicate.
What Prym Mini measuring aid in White is suitable for
- Marking hems and seam allowances
- Patchwork and quilting
- Alterations to finished clothing
Frequently asked questions
Is it good for patchwork?
Yes, provided the edges are true and the tool lies flat. In patchwork repeatability counts for more than a single millimetre. Always working from the same edge keeps the deviation small by itself.
How should it be stored?
Flat and with no load on top. A bent ruler pulls every cut askew, and it usually shows only when pieces refuse to match. Hung on a hook, a long ruler stays true the longest.
How do I clean it?
Wipe with a damp cloth, no scouring agents. Chalk dust and lint otherwise settle in the figures and make the scale unreadable. Let it dry before it goes back in the drawer, or it collects dust.
What if it slips?
Small silicone stoppers underneath hold the tool in place. Otherwise it already helps to lay the second hand flat instead of using fingertips. A sheet of sandpaper under the ruler also holds it surprisingly well.
