    NO! It isn't this; it's totally different!

    bought one when we did Fan Dance and it came in handy. I think it is for small paper piecing projects.

    By all means, get yourself one. That ridge makes all the difference. I wouldn't be without mine for pp. And they're not expensive.

    I have both the 12" one & the 6" ones I use them all the time for pp. They save so much time in trimming. Well worth the $.

    Unless somebody gives it to you for free, you will pay a bit for shpg. so you might be better off buying one at your LQS. Wal Mart may also have them. Can't remember for sure.
