Product description
Straight Metal Ruler, 30 cm
A straight metal ruler, 30 cm long, marked in centimeters and millimeters. The ruler sits inside a protective frame of hard orange plastic that shields your hands and the fabric from the metal's edges and corners and makes it easy to find on the worktable. There is a hanging hole at the end.
A metal ruler keeps a straight line over time: it does not warp from heat and its edge does not wear down from pen, chalk or pencil. This is the basic ruler for every sewing table, for short measurements and for drawing straight lines on pattern paper and fabric.
Common uses
Measuring and drawing straight lines on pattern paper and fabric.
Marking seam allowances, hems and fold lines.
Measuring the width of ribbons, elastic, zippers and lace.
Checking the dimensions of cut pieces before sewing.
General measuring in the studio, classroom and at home.
Who it is for
Seamstresses, fashion students, sewing classes, studios and schools. For wholesale orders for a school, studio or shop: phone 03-9444226 or WhatsApp 055-2473993.
Pro tips
Read the measurement from above, at a right angle to the ruler, not from the side.
Start measuring from the zero line, not from the edge of the frame.
Hang the ruler on a hook at your workspace so it is always within reach.
Common mistakes
Measuring from the edge of the frame instead of the zero line.
Using a straight ruler to draw curves. For curved lines use a curve ruler.
Cutting with a knife along the frame. It is plastic and the blade damages it.
How this model differs
This is a simple straight ruler for measuring and drawing. Clear cutting rulers are wide, with a grid of lines and angle lines, and suit cutting with a rotary cutter. For curves see Curve Rulers, and for right angles Angle Rulers. For cutting fabric see Cutting and Quilting Rulers, and all rulers in Rulers.
