It’s called the 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge and it is the Swiss Army Knife of sewing tools. Application after application, the list is almost endless. This is a true multifunction sewing tool that belongs close at hand in every sewing room. What does it do? – There are the advertised uses and then there are the ones you will discover on your own. We’ll be interested to hear from you to add to our list.

Flawlessly measure hemlines. The moving cursor locks into place at 1/8 inch intervals up to 6 inches. Measure from the top of the “T” to the top of the locking curser for perfect hems every time.

Mark seam allowances. The 5-in-1 has convenient markings for standard seam allowances or you're set your own.

The “T-Square” feature of the 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge allows you to measure both length and width at the same time. You can also use it to set perfect right angles in any sewing project requiring square placement.

Space, place and size buttonholes. Use the space between the top of the gauge to the top of the curser to measure the length of your buttonholes. The same feature can be used to transfer the distances between button holes from a pattern to your garment or you can make custom settings as suits your design.
