Clearly Perfect Angles Template by New Leaf Stitches – Color Coded Fabric Alignment Guide for Sewing 45 Degree Angles

The Clearly Perfect Angles is a wonderful easy product to use. It is not just for making half square triangles but it is great for accurate 1/4” seam allowances. It also is very forgiving. I over cut in 2 places - but a small piece of masking tape fixed the problem. It was also nice to receive a thank you card with contact information should I have a problem. Even better was the price.

It will stick better if you begin with a clean surface. I’m still getting the hang of how to line up my pieces to get the perfect units. Once I get more practice it will work perfectly I’m sure. I just leave it on my surface all the time-they said it will last longer that way. My only concern is that my fabric doesn’t slide across the sewing table as well. There is a bit of tackiness. Overall I’m happy with it. Will save so much time by not having to mark my 120 fabric squares!

I love it. I was slow to purchase this item, viewing it several times, so glad I finally did get it. I love to sew the quilt top, that is until I get to the part where you have to attach long strips for borders and binding. Lining it up, drawing the line, I just dreaded the process. This changes everything, I'm quickly lining up one strip after the other, using that middle line as my guide stitch down the center for that angled seam, comes out perfect.. The plastic guide stays put, easy to position, Haven't decided if I will cut a flap for the bobbin for now I'm fine simply lifting up the front portion, laying it back down, no repositioning required. So in my opinion, this is money well spent and not just another gadget that will quickly end up stowed away in the sewing drawer.

I bought this after seeing a video on YouTube demonstrating the features. I had recently been struggling with sewing dozens of squares on the diagonal and this product made it look so easy to align and sew without having to "eyeball" the alignment. The template adheres to the sewing table by static, there is no adhesive involved so it can removed, repositioned, and replaced over and over. The only problem is that it sticks to smooth surfaces but not other surfaces. I have a Bernina and their sewing table has a pebbled surface so unfortunately this template won't stick to it! I also an Elna that does have a smooth surface so this template works great on that machine. If the template will stick to your sewing surface then it's great for aligning on a 45 degree and it also has an extended centerline to help with alignment. It works as advertised and makes these situations simple and easy. Check for a smooth surface before you buy and you will get good use of this template!

So easy to use. Getting the seam straight and the angles correct.

I had issues trying to cut out the area for my feed dogs. The biggest issue is that my fabric would not slide so I kept having a fabric traffic jam. End up taking it off and using my regular tape.

This product works just as described. Haven’t used a great deal but have had to change the bobbin and it was a breeze.

When sewing quilt blocks, the fabric gets caught in the back of the plate cutout. I’ve tried everything to stop this and ended up cutting the entire back portion off. I’m still using it for center and seam guidance so not a total loss.

Very good guide
