I can’t believe I only just came across this tool. While shopping at my favorite must-go fabric shop – Kanariya in Sapporo. I came across this new tool. It is a Seam allowance cutter guide by Clover.
As you know many Japanese sewing patterns require addition of seam allowance after tracing out your pattern in the size you want. This often requires going through the same lines again but adding outer lines depending on the seam allowance for each edge of the pattern. This means that to get to a usable pattern piece, you need to effectively trace the pattern outlines 3 times! First time to trace base pattern, second to add seam allowance, third is to use a penknife to cut out the patterns.
With the Seam allowance cutter guide tool, you can now eliminate the middle step. Simply clip the blade onto the tool, and align the required seam allowance marking to the edge of the pattern and cut. Easy peasy.
Do you think this is a useful tool? Would you get one?
