Is it just used for marking pattern pieces, or do you think you could use it to mark seams on fabric before sewing?


Hi June,

I've seen something similar to this. If you're using patterns that don't have the 1/4 added to them you may find this very useful.

Mostly in the past, we've had a pattern either on paper or cardboard or plastic that did not include seam allowance. You would lay down the pattern on the back of the fabric and draw around the pattern with pencil and then cut out....approximately 1/4 or whatever you wanted..the seam allowance to be. With this you can draw around the pattern and have a more perfect 1/4 line drawn for the cutting line.

I haven't had a need for this time of notion in doing the quilting or sewing that I've completed.

I can think of many other notions and tools to spend my money on, but that is just MHO.
