I don’t know how I functioned before I got this ruler. I sew lots of long items (curtains, table runners, coverlets) so that means lots and lots of long hems. I can breeze through projects so quickly now using this to measure hems. Using the old fashioned hem gauge is one of my least favorite parts of sewing so this has brought me so much joy.

Two tips for using it: invest in some silicone finger guards to protect your digits from iron heat, and don’t use the steam option on your iron while using it. The ruler is stiff but noticed steam temporarily softens it (and I don’t want it to eventually warp).

Worth its weight in gold!

This tool is so much easier and quicker than using a measuring instrument and pinning the fabric before pressing. Saves me a lot of time when sewing the handy towels I make to sell at boutiques.

Love it. Every thing I have bought from you have given me joy and the feeling of wow....
How smart, how did I not know about this before?
Thank you

I've been using a smaller version of this pressing tool for my hand made cathedral windows quilts. This longer option makes pressing my 1/4 hems SO much easier. So happy with it, and faster making my squares.

I love this little felt ruler, so helpful when ironing hems or other seams to an exact measurement. Never knew what I was missing until I found this, and now I’ll never be without. It’s surprisingly sturdy and well-made.
