Hoping to measure up....
Hey All! Hi me :) I think I am the only one reading this any way but that's cool. I should have some company soon because I have a dilemma. Welcome fellow group members! Thanks sew much for popping over! :) I don't think I know how to use a scaled ruler. See I don't even know what to call the procedure, if it is a procedure. Anyways I have to divide the distance 4 7/8 in thirds. I have a 1/3 scale ruler and things aren't measuring up. :/
I have to measure from one side seam to the other
So this is how I started. I got the original 4 7/8 measurement from a regular ruler and then I lined my 1/3 scale ruler up to do my...doing...
I found 4 7/8 on my 1/3 scale ruler...and marked...
I then lined up at that first mark, measured 4 7/8 again and marked...but that's not divided in half...or is it??....anyways.. onto the THIRD divide!
Lined up...and marked again. There it is 4 7/8 divided into thirds! :) Right? :/
It doesn't look right. My lines were suppose to fall within the side seam lines. I don't think I did it right. I can hardly wait to find out what I did wrong :)
Take wonderful care everyone!!! :) Thanks sew much for your help :)
