Small measurements make a big difference. The Madeira 20cm Hand Sewing Gauge helps you bring consistency to seams, folded edges, corners and buttonhole placement. Keep it beside your machine for the quick checks that turn a good sewing session into a neatly finished project.
With measurements in centimetres and inches, it is useful when moving between patterns that use different units.
Ways to put it to work
- Check seam allowances as you prepare and sew your pieces.
- Measure folds and edges before pressing.
- Position and mark buttonholes for a considered finish.
- Work in metric or imperial: cm and inch measurements on a 20cm gauge.

Your little consistency check
Choose the measurement you need, check it at several points along the fabric and mark with a tool suitable for your material. Taking a moment here makes it easier to keep repeated details consistent.
