Abstract:

The seam gauge and table guard attachment attaches to a pair of conventional scissors. The protective guard includes a rigid, unitary U-shaped frame with a rectangular base portion and an inclined cover portion. The inclined cover portion has a plurality of fastener holes for receiving a fastener. A fastener is provided for engaging the fastener holes to secure the protective guard to the conventional scissors. The inclined cover portion is positioned over the stationary blade and the protective guard is secured to the scissors by the fastener. The rectangular base portion is disposed below the cutting blade to prevent the scissors from cutting beyond a specific point. The protective guard allows a user to clip the seam allowance on a rag quilt without cutting through and damaging the seam of a rag quilt.
