Pattern Drafting Tool Set + Seam Guide Ruler

This pair gives you what you need to copy, draft, and adjust sewing patterns with confidence. The 4 piece pattern drafting tool set brings a tracing wheel, a precision blade, an awl, and a pattern notcher, and the seam guide ruler helps you add an even seam allowance (the margin you sew along) to any pattern you trace. It is a friendly way in for beginners and a handy upgrade for anyone who makes their own patterns.Trace a pattern or a favourite garment with the wheel, mark darts and pivot points with the awl, and add notches so your pieces line up. Then use the seam guide ruler to add your seam allowance and set your needle in the right spot when you sew.Trace it. Mark it. Sew it true.Why You'll Love It Copy Any Pattern, Keep the Original: Roll the tracing wheel along your pattern or a favourite garment with paper underneath, then join the dots. You get an exact copy, and the original stays in one piece. Clean Curves and Corners: The precision blade follows curves and tight corners more cleanly than scissors, so your paper pattern pieces come out true. Marks That Line Up: The awl marks darts and pivot points, and the notcher adds neat alignment notches with one squeeze, so your pieces match up when you sew. Seam Allowance Made Simple: The seam guide ruler has 16 needle holes from one-eighth inch to 2 inches, so adding an even seam allowance (the margin you sew along) to a traced pattern is quick. Seams That Stay Even: Set your needle in the matching hole, then place the magnetic seam guide to keep your fabric the same distance from the needle all the way along. Specifications1.
