Rulers & Tape Measures

Your sewing projects will be a cut above the rest when you use rulers and tape measures from Hobby Lobby! We offer an array of measuring tools to help complete projects with precision and a professional look. Grab our quilting rulers for straight cuts on quilt squares, and use a tape measure to get measurements around the bust, waist, and hips for sewing clothing.

A quilt ruler is a versatile tool to have among your sewing supplies. This helpful guide is transparent and offers inch marks and angle lines. It helps to measure and cut out straight pieces of fabric and get perfect angles when you cut triangles and other shapes.

Beginner sewers and professionals will greatly benefit from having a 12.5” x 12.5” Fiskars sewing ruler as part of their essential sewing tools. This is a standard quilt square size, and you can use it to cut down fabric as small as you need. Quilt rulers also have a cross section in the center, so you can easily find the center of a design you like and make fussy cutting easier.

In addition to a square ruler, it is also great to have a rectangular straight-edge ruler. They are great for cutting out long and thin strips of fabric, like your own quilt binding. You can also use a wooden yard stick to cut out yardage from your stock of bolts of fabric.

Use a flexible measuring tape to get measurements around three-dimensional items. It’s great for quick and easy measuring, because you can easily store and set it down or drape it around your neck as you work. Pick out a small tape measure with a cute design, and use this retractable tape measure to take your creativity on the go!
