Fit and buying advice

The cradle's 13.8-inch overall length and the guide's 11.8-inch length describe different parts. The holes in the guide locate the awl. Check the paper opening on a test section because it depends on the point and pressure.

Questions about this tool

Can I put holes 20 mm apart?

Use every second guide opening to set 20 mm intervals. Check the first and last positions against your pattern.

Does the 3 mm measurement describe the sewing hole?

It describes the guide opening. Pierce a spare fold to see how large the paper hole becomes.

What if I need to lay out holes off the fold?

Compare the NewEle multi-row guide for more choices across the sheet.
