Description
This metal hem marking tool sits on a floor and is stabilized with 3 metal feet. The front foot measures 1" x 3" and is 1/8 inch thick. The two side feet are fastened to either side vertically, and each measures 2.5" x .75". The center vertical metal spine is one inch wide with 1/4 inch sides. There is a marked wooden ruler enclosed in the back of the spine, and the metal part of the spine is adjustable for height. There is a wing nut at the right side of the metal spine for use in adjusting. At the center of the metal spine, there is a 6.5 inch metal rod attached with a hinged bracket that can move and meet a another metal piece at the top of the spine. The two metal pieces are formed to work together, and they form space to insert a pin into the skirt fabric. On the front of the wooden ruler are the words, "Pin-It" and "Skirt Marker" and "Patent Pending".
