Is the Dritz Deluxe Chalk Hem Marker worth it?

If you sew garments alone and hate pinning hems, it saves time and gives a straighter line than eyeballing. Casual sewists who hem rarely may find a ruler and chalk cheaper.

How tall a hem can it mark?

The stand adjusts from about 4.5 to 29.5 inches off the floor, which covers short skirts through floor-length dresses on most people.

Does it work on pants?

Yes, but you need to stand straight and still while marking. For cropped or tapered pants, check the line against a tape measure afterward.

The chalk hem marker stand and a supply of chalk powder. No fabric or tape measure is included.

How do I keep the chalk from smudging?

Use short puffs rather than long squeezes, and mark over a surface you can clean. Brush off excess chalk before sewing.
