Kirk Dow’s Post

How accurate is your measuring device? It’s always good to check tape measures against hard rulers to see if they have stretched! Never use a cloth tape measure! Some companies prefer you to use the metal tape measures as they will never stretch out! I know it seems odd to squabble about an eighth, but depending on the garment, that could be the tolerance for bulk production! What do you use?

You must change your measuring tape every 3 months to new one it stretches out of shape and becomes inaccurate

Totally! Great point, Kirk!! 👏🏻
