Dritz 7 Point Turner Seam Gauge, Nickel with Black Printing and Blue Slider

This is a pretty standard measuring tool that every serious seamstress should have in their kit. I used one just like it for 15+ years, and am just now replacing it after the measurement lines have been worn off from constant use. Checked against other rulers and the measurements are accurate. Slide works smoothly and stays in place well. These little Dritz rulers are a great quality tool!

Item came bent. Cannot be returned or replaced. Beware!

I love this little thing! Makes my sewing life so much easier!

this is a great little item. I find uses for it all over the house. its smaller than a retractable tape measure so not so cumbersome for small jobs. the sliding guide helps keep your measurement consistent

My preference for steam gauge is either an Omnigrid ruler, a piece of cardboard cut to the actual shape of the hem that I want to make (that I then roll the hem over and then press over), or for actual measurement the Nancy Zieman gauge that adjusts. But considering this item is only two dollars its a really good compromise. It also can be used as a point Turner- although my fist preference is a dedicated point Turner made out of hard plastic, or a Bodkin, or a chopstick, or varous seaming techniques. But for a combo item for beginners, it cant be beat.

I purchased this elsewhere after misplacing another one that had lasted for over 20 years. This one fell apart the first time I used it. The slider is plastic, held in place by a tiny metal clip spring that fits underneath the loop on the slider. The spring fell out, and now it is entirely useless. Very disappointed, to say the least! Hope my other gauge turns up.

Very good size

Did not like this seam gauge. Is to big for my taste. Is just a cheap piece of ruler. I threw it away and got me a clover one is just better quality and better constructed than this one. Cheap is not better.

The extra length

Its okay. Its kinda flimsy and bends easily, but it just as easily bends back. The plastic marker part seems sturdy so far. Im okay with this gauge for what I paid for it.
