French Curve Set

Stay Ahead of the Curve!

Designers and architects will recognize these tools as essential!  This complete French curve set features 12 different pieces for pattern drafting, design, and artwork.  Use the clear rulers to draw straight or curved edges with accuracy and ease.  Each ruler has a unique purpose: the ruler in the shape of a tear drop is called a button ruler for armhole curves and includes button spacing measurements, the triangle is a scale ruler with a 90 degree angle and round lines to create perfect circles, and the long curved ruler with a rounded end is a hip curve used when making flat patterns for pants and skirts.  And the list goes on (see below).  Curved edges are more difficult to replicate than straight edges UNLESS the exact same ruler is involved.  Flat sewing patterns are simply 2D lines that form 3D shapes.  These shapes must fit together like many pieces of a fabulous puzzle created to clothe the human body.  Not into fashion?  What about architecture or graphic design?  Even cereal boxes utilize flaps and foldable edges to form and maintain their shape.  Garments, cereal boxes, and almost every great idea is made possible by using the right tools.  Clearly, these are the right tools.  So don’t wait!  Buy today!

Curves and Rulers

The blue flexi-ruler with the white middle can bend and conform to the shape of any curve when taking measurements.  Endless curly loops are a trademark of every classic French curve (the orange color is just a bonus).  Let’s not forget the straight edge rulers with lines to mark and measure when grading a garment from one size to another.  And what about that armhole curve that looks suspiciously like a comma with holes punched through the plastic?  Well, those holes aren’t just for decoration.  This nifty measuring tool features sizes for different round buttons.  Every marking serves a purpose on each ruler which makes them excellent multipurpose tools.  Speaking of multipurpose…what about the rulers that have both straight and curved edges?  These rulers can replace lost (or stolen) rulers as needed making them indispensable to any artist or designer.

Why So Many?

Curved or straight.  Simple or complex.  Every design is different.  Placing lines on paper is the easy part.  The difficulty arrives when simple straight edges must interact with tricky curves.  Just like the lines on each ruler have a purpose, so do design lines that need to meet exact measurements or specifications.  Accuracy is key!  So don’t delay, buy the French curve set today and bring your designs to life!
