This is a clear drafting ruler with a 1-inch-wide body, a French curve on one side and a long straight edge on the other. The wide body lets you mark or check a full 1-inch seam allowance in one pass, which is the allowance you want when you plan to let side seams out later for growth or fit. The straight edge handles hems, plackets and grainline checks; the curve redraws necklines, armholes, darts and waist-to-hip blends. It is a single-purpose tool compared with a full graded ruler set, but the 1-inch width and curve together cover the adjustments most home sewists make. Buyers describe it as accurate and easy to use for increasing or decreasing seam lines on patterns.

Buyers say the ruler makes pattern work more accurate and easy to follow, especially when increasing or decreasing seam lines.
This pattern-making ruler is a 1-inch wide seam allowance drafter with a French curve on one side and a long straight edge on the other. It is used to add or check 1-inch seam allowances along curved and straight edges, so patterns take less time to chalk out. The wide allowance also lets you let out side seams for growth and fit adjustments.
The long straight edge works for hems and shirt plackets. Either the curve or the straight side can be used to press or mark hems evenly. The straight edge also helps align patterns with the fabric grain.
The curve can be used to redraw dart legs, reshape dart curves, blend bodice, waist and hip lines, and shape necklines and armholes. The 1-inch divisions help space buttons equally. It can also serve as a guide for topstitch spacing, for marking bias strips, and for marking curves on small quilting blocks or appliqué edges.
