Sewing Gauge
I wouldn't want to run a home without this small sewing and knitting gauge (approx. 6 inches long, metal with a movable plastic marking guide) Helpful for all household projects which require consistent simple measuring and marking. Used for craft projects, or just to help children learn how to measure equal distances when they want to do some kind of art project requiring parallel lines. The small size makes the gauge convenient to cart along for measuring/adjusting/adding lines of sequins, or decorations to costumes. Most families need to hem things (blue jeans, curtains, skirts, costumes) and the gauge is PERFECT for this use. This is as basic a tool in my home as scissors or a ruler. Can be purchased in any sewing store or the sewing department of a discount store.

A cool tool is anything useful that is superior to comparable items. If you think this tool is inferior suggest a better one. You are welcome to insult a tool, but comments containing insults to individual people will be deleted. Corrections of fact are always welcomed, if stated politely. Recommendations of better tools are dearly wanted and may be elevated to the front page.

I got one of these things when I purchased a Singer sewing machine to do some pillow covers for house and patio furnature. I also use it to repair worn pants and alter the length. Golly, there this thing was in the kit and I never used it. I used it lat night and did some bottoms to old dockers that were starting to ravel. works great! I just cut off the old hemed part and then wen around the bottom of each leg with this tool and marked where to fold it up to. did that and sewed two lines on each leg. Looks good to me.
