How to use a magnetic seam guide

Some of our club members may recognise this nifty tool! The magnetic seam guide was our haberdashery gift a few months ago, we thought we'd show you how to use this tool.

The seam guide had a strong magnet on the underside of the main body which sits on your machine plate.

Choose what seam allowance you want to use by positioning it in place on the grid on your plate, or using a tape measure, by measuring in from your needle position to the seam guide.

The flat edge will be facing inwards towards your needle. ensure your fabric is butting up against the flat edge of the seam guide. This will ensure you have a lovely straight line when you sew.

Now that you have finished sewing your seam will be even thanks to the seam guide keeping your fabric in place.
