The Dritz Sewing Gauge is a 6-inch metal ruler with a sliding marker that holds its position for repeated marking. It measures and marks hems, seam allowances, buttonhole spacing and length, tucks, pleats, scallops and circles. It suits sewists who mark the same measurement many times and want a small dedicated tool rather than a tape measure. Compared with a plain ruler or tape, the sliding marker is the draw; it is a simple, single-purpose tool that experienced sewers often keep several of.
