Best Answer

These measurement grooves are a seam gauge. They measure how big your seam allowance will be. As you sew, you'll align the edge of your fabric with one of the grooves. The grooves are labeled with "3/8", "4/8", "5/8", etc. If you line the edge of your fabric up with the 5/8 groove as you sew, you will have a 5/8" seam allowance, and so on.
