There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It's so clear, I often get confused trying to read the numbers ... and then I realize it's upside-down. Being so clear helps a lot for aligning it with what I want to cut.
The Red Print really makes measurements standout over a black inc, or pencil mark.
WARNING: DO NOT LEAVE IN A HOT CAR. The ruler WILL warp.
I use this to add seam allowances; perfectly straight darts; trace tucks, pleats, and other pattern markings, and basically anything that might require a line when sewing.
There’s not much to say about it—it’s a ruler and it’s clear—but it is so exceptional at what it does and it makes so many different applications SO useful.
