Sewing tape measures are usually marked with inches on one side and centimeters/millimeters on the other. The most common use of a tape measure is to take body measurements, but you can use it for any measuring task.

Similarly, the higher the number of the needle, the thinner the needle is; therefore it will be able to be used with smaller beads....
