Description

These seam allowance guide discs were made especially for my Mum's dressmaking.  Please see notes below for how to use them most accurately.

 

The set includes a disc for ¼ inch, ½ inch, 5/8 inch and 1 inch with a hole in the center to perfectly fit a Pilot Frixion (removable marker).  The holes are also compatible with most regular pens or a pencil when sharp.

 

No assembly required after printing. Perfect for PLA.

 

NOTES FOR BEST USE:

  • Discs are to be used with the measurement indicator facing up.
  • Works best as a roller up against a hard pattern edge. Just be sure to keep your pen upright and take your time till you get a feel for it.
  • When adding a seam allowance to tissue paper patterns or any surface that DOES NOT have a hard edge, the discs are best used as a spacer. In this case, TAKING YOUR TIME till you get a feel for it, keep your pen upright and eyeball the edge of the pattern as you gently drag the outside edge of the disc along the pattern edge.
  • It does take practice! So keep at it, and you'll be zooming along in no time. 
  • If you run off your line when tracing an edge, just pick back up and keep going. You will see an example of where this has happened in my photo. Overall, it's still a much faster way to add your seam allowance then any hand drawn method we have seen so far.

If you have any suggestions on how the design can be improved, please do not hesitate to let me know.  Thanks.  Enjoy!! :)
