THE BIAS GAUGE

The Bias Gauge is very useful (especially in the case of soft materials) when cutting bias strips from 7/16 inch to 1-3/8 inches in width. This is done by placing the bias gauge upon the point of the scissors and setting the blued indicator to the width desired. The line F is the point at which to set the blued indicator for facings, the line B for bindings, and the line C for cording or piping.

Insert The material in the gauge with the edge against the blued indicator, and hold as shown at right.

Bias binding should be cut 15/16 inch wide, and to do this the indicator should be set midway between the lines F and B.
