I was using this tape measure recently while working on one of Caleb’s Christmas presents. As soon as I realized the problem with it I couldn’t believe it and threw it out. Crazy! Made in…well you can see where its made.

I can’t figure out what is wrong with it at all. Keep looking at it and looks like a regular tape measure to me. Doesn’t look like it is skipping any numbers. Any clues?

Well, I don’t know what the “standard” for sewing tape measures is, but all the yard sticks, rulers, and tape measures I’ve ever used start with zero at the actual physical end…

You got it Joseph. When I measured 20 inches with this tape measure, it was actually about 20 3/4 inches! Crazy.
