I first saw it mentioned here at the Cupcake Goddess blog (nka A Fashionable Stitch) about a year ago. As you can see by the label on the box, I was able to pick mine up from B. Black & Sons in NYC. However, like so many of my "I have to have it" gadgets - never even used it. UNTIL ... today when trying to straighten the loop-sided hem grain of the skirt I'm currently working on. RESULTS: it worked perfectly!
So I ask you, ARE YOU A GADGET PERSON TOO????

Serenity Love Sincere Peace Earth asked how I appliqued the cardi in my last post.
i have one of those pin hem markers as well, and they can be super useful!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a gadget person, but I've always wondered about that gizmo. I'm the kind of person who finds gadgets hard to figure out.
ReplyDeletei need one! i think my mom had the same one. I have been looking for the dritz bound buttonhole maker...sewers need gadgets!
ReplyDeleteI buy Gadget once in a while but I usually forget I have them... Not sure if I have this in my collection, but its something I will like to own.
ReplyDeleteI am a gadget person. I spent more on the accessories then my machine, but I use them all. Anything to give more professional results, imo, is worth it.
ReplyDeleteI have one of those hem markers and I've never used it. I think I'll give it a try for hemming my Christmas dress. Thank you for reminding me about it!
ReplyDeleteI have one of those and love it. They are fabulous for pinning a very full formal gown correctly without going nuts. Highly recommend.
ReplyDeleteOoh I NEEED one of those. lol. I'm on the hunt.
ReplyDeleteI'm guilty of having tools I don't use. But after I discovered that I had a narrow zipper foot that I didn't know about, my goal has been to use more of my presser feet. This weekend I discovered the edge stitching foot that came with my sewing machine. So, I'm working on it!
ReplyDeleteI've always looked at that hem gadget and never bought. I pin up my own clothes and truly have no idea if they are straight. I pin up dresses, especially bridesmaids dresses and wonder if that would make my life easier? hmm.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am a gadget person. I've about purchasing this little gadget, but took a pass on it. I pin my own hems. Sometimes I have to redo them. But for the most part they come out pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI don't have the hem marker gadget. bit I used to (does that count?).
ReplyDeleteI have enough gadgets that I should just post pictures of open drawers of my sewing cabinets. Some day ...
