Our take on the 6" Sewing Gauge w/ Sliding Marker

The Dritz 6-inch sewing gauge is a metal ruler with a sliding marker that stays where you set it, so you can repeat the same measurement over and over. It marks seam allowances, hems, buttonhole spacing and length, tucks, pleats, scallops and circles. The best new price is $4.50 at Harmony as of November 7, 2026, and 5 stores carry it new. At that price it is a low-cost tool that most sewers keep in the notions box.
