SEW EASY · PATTERN MAKING & ALTERATIONS Smoother curves for better-fitting patterns The Sew Easy Metric French Curve Ruler helps you redraw garment curves neatly when drafting or altering sewing patterns. Use its shaped edges to blend changes into an existing pattern, rather than trying to draw a smooth line freehand. Clear construction lets you see your original markings underneath, while metric graduations and a grading grid help you measure and position adjustments. One ruler for a range of garment curves Necklines and armholes: refine curved openings when adjusting a bodice pattern. Sleeve caps: draw and smooth the curved top of a sleeve. Hip, waist and hem lines: blend altered points into a flowing outline. Pattern sizing: use the grading grid as a guide when marking size adjustments. Made for metric pattern work This is the metric version, supplied as one clear French curve ruler with a grading grid. A useful addition to a dressmaking kit for home sewing, fashion study and pattern alteration work. A simple way to use it Mark the points you want your new line to pass through, then move the ruler until an edge follows the shape you need. Trace a short section at a time, repositioning it to blend the sections smoothly. Keep your original pattern intact by making adjustments on a traced copy.
