The Prym Hand Gauge (21 cm) is an essential measuring tool designed for sewing enthusiasts and professionals who require consistent accuracy when creating hems, seam allowances, and buttonholes. Its primary benefit lies in its flexible, lightweight design that conforms to fabric for precise marking, though users should note that as a plastic tool, it is best suited for manual marking tasks rather than heavy-duty industrial cutting guides.

No, this is a plastic gauge designed for measuring and marking. Do not place it on an ironing board while using a hot iron.
This tool is intended for marking and measuring. It is not designed to be used as a guard for rotary cutters, as the plastic may be damaged by the blade.
No, the scale is strictly in centimetres and millimetres.
The notches are designed to hold the tip of a marking pen or chalk, allowing you to slide the gauge along the fabric edge while creating a perfectly straight line.
The gauge is made from high-quality, flexible plastic.
Apply slightly more pressure to the gauge to allow the plastic to cling; alternatively, ensure the fabric is laid flat on a non-slip cutting mat.
The white finish is high-contrast, but if working on white fabric, use a dark-colored tailor's chalk to mark through the notches to improve visibility.
No assembly is required for the Prym Hand Gauge; it is ready to use immediately upon removal from the packaging. It is compatible with all fabric types and marking implements like tailor's chalk, water-soluble pens, or marking pencils. To maintain the accuracy and longevity of your gauge, store it flat in a sewing box away from direct heat sources, which could potentially warp the plastic. If the gauge becomes soiled with chalk or fabric dust, wipe it clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it immediately before storage.
