THE SCISSORS GAUGE
The Scissors gauge is for cutting bands qf various widths, either
itraight or bias. The sliding scale is adjustable for the widths of
band desired.
Place the gauge upon the scissors, as shown in the illustration,
slip the edge of the cloth in the gauge and proceed to cut the band.
The tape for the Binder should always be cut on the bias, also th©
piping which is used with the Ruffler.
The letter P indicates the proper width for
a bias fold, which is to be one-half of an inch
wide when finished.
The Scissors Gauge »fhe letter B indicates the width for cutting
bias bands which are used with the binder.
C is for corded or plain piping. The piping is cut bias and
. folded double to use with the ruffler.
With the aid of this gauge any
number of folds may be cut of
exactly the same width. Those
who have tried know the difficulty
of doing this with the scissors
alone. Everyone who uses a bias
gauge is delighted with it.

board and keep it in the machine
