El producto cumplió las expectativas.

They are wonderful! Would like markings on them all but that’s ok, I use them nonetheless! They’re great looking in my sewing space and will last forever I’m sure. Nice and thick. Thank you!

No está mal es resistente pero tal vez mejorar la tinta de los reglas

Recommended. This ruler set includes an impressive array of different types of sewing rulers. They are made of solid wood and thicker than one might expect. The edges are sharp and the numbers, when included, are large and readable. I did find some of the edges and the hole a little rough to the touch but nothing that would cause splinter or snage.I was far more impressed with these rulers than I expected to be. I had purchased a metal set and two plastic sets in the past and found them to be flimsy, especially for the high price I paid (much higher than these currently cost). They worked but didn't feel sturdy. The rulers in this set were much different. I was most impressed with the thickness. I, honestly, had expected them to be made of thin, brittle wood. These are quite nice, though, and thick enough that they don't bend when held upright. The edges are smooth enough to run a pen against and the resulting lines were as expected.Not all of the rulers have a number scale printed on them. The ones that did were printed in two different sizes. One font was normal-sized and the other was very large. That's not necessarily a complaint, just an observation.The sewing rulers were sanded very well leaving only a small amount of roughness on the edges, especially around the corners and in the little holes. It would be fine to use as is but I took a very fine grit sandpaper to them just to make them as smooth as I like. I am very finicky about wood items, though.Overall, these rules are great! There is a wide variety, they are sturdy and thick and have clean, sharp edges for drawing/patterning. I would definitely recommend them.

The media could not be loaded. I used to work in the fashion industry as a patternmaker and I still enjoy drafting patterns for myself and others often. While I have my set of metal patternmaking tools from Fairgate and a couple of clear plastic French curve tools all of which I’ve been using for decades, I was eager to try these Setchmore wood patternmaking tools.I created a video to describe how these wood tools compare to my professional-level metal tools, in shapes and usage. The most-used tools as a patternmaker are the hip curve, French curve, t-square, and a 18” ruler. The other tools fall into the “nice to have, but not essential” category.This set comes with 7 tools. Two of the tools are slight variations of the hip curve tool. Another is a square tool (which is actually a triangle shape with a right angle for creating corners and squaring-off points on your pattern). There are two tools that are variations of the curves on a French curve. Their shapes accurately match those main curves on my French curve and will be useful for a number of pattern shapes, such as armholes and necklines, but the tools are missing a few smaller curved shapes that I have on my plastic French curve. There is a tool that looks like a straight ruler with measurement markings on both sides but it’s NOT a straight edge; one end curves up ever so slightly. For me, this make it less useful. I’d have preferred a perfectly straight ruler to go with the other tools.What is odd with this set is that only TWO of the tools has any measurement markings on it, and it’s not the one that I think needs it. I often use the measurement markings on my hip curve, but the wooden versions of the hip curves in this set have no measurement markings at all. I guess you could take a permanent marker and a tape measure and mark out the units on the wood tools that are missing them.For the price, this set of patternmaking tools is a very good set of tools if you are getting started with patternmaking and don’t yet want to splurge on the metal tools that professionals use. The tools in this set will serve their purpose and be useful as you learn the standard shapes in patternmaking (necklines, armholes, hips, etc).The tools came especially well packaged so they were in perfect condition when opened. The edges were pretty smooth, but you may prefer to take some sandpaper to give some edges a rub to smooth them out better.Overall, this is a well-crafted set of tools that feel sturdy and will likely last you a long time. If you aren’t ready to splurge for the metal patternmaking tools, these would be a very good starter set for your patternmaking work.

Beautiful set of seven old-fashioned beechwood curves, straightedges, and rulers, both in inches and centimeters (US customary and metric). I love using wooden tools. These are well-crafted, except they could be sanded a little more, particularly for knitters or fine wool. I am knitting a fluffy jacket with fine metallic threads through it.I was not expecting such large gorgeous instruments. What a delight! Two of the tools have measurement markings. One side is centimeters/millimeters; the other side, inches (more on that). They measure accurately against my favorite metal ruler. Due to the curves of the tools, the centimeters increase off to the right, but inches to the left, to be able to start counting at a straight edge.IMPORTANT NOTE: the inches are divided into TENTHS. They are not divided into US customary fractions! Beware! The midpoint or half inches is normal; but the half inch is divided into fifths; or the whole inch is divided into tenths. (Myself for knitting small things I prefer metric units.) These inches are called “decimal inches”, used in engineering where precision and scaling matter. It allows the use of inches without resorting to having to do arithmetic with fractions. Just don’t count them wrong, they are NOT eighths, etc.I love how there is an initial gap to the first line of measurement, so you are actually lining up on the first marking, not the edge of the ruler. Each piece has a hole for hanging (could be better finished).The curves are also useful for drawing and other design functions. I do not like to hand draw things, so love curves. Despite the small complaint about the finish, these tools are five star. It’s so nice getting away from plastic! Made in Turkey.
