Quilters quarter -
for measuring a quarter of an inch
For quilter & patchworker but for any stitcher. You can use it for drawing your seam allowance onto fabric.
If you have not seen one before it is basically a ruler than is in a cube shape made of transparent plastic. Easy to hold and being transparent you can see your seam allowance and fabric through it. It is a 1/4" on all sides so you get the perfect 1/4" seam allowance for seams or templates.
Such a simple thing but very useful. Although!! do be careful where you leave it as you can easily mislay it being as it is transparent.
size 8" x 1/4" or 200mm x 6mm
COLOUR
transparent plastic resin |
