Gauge

A gauge is useful to mark areas where constant measurement is desired. It is ideal for marking hems, tucks, top stitching lines, pleats, buttonhole placements and lengths. It can also be used as stitching gauge for measuring distances that are not marked on the sewing machine. A gauge can be made for any measurements according to the pattern requirement. Notches can be cut on the guage for marking on the fabric.
