    It's used for paper piecing comes in two sizes a great tool.If you don't plan to buy both sizes I would get the 12" add a quarter ruler.

    I have one and found it to be great to use when paper piecing. If you want a preview of what you are going to learn check out the tutorial on Missouri Star Quilt Company's web site. very neat.

    I got one for a pp class but think I could have done just as well with a small ruler that marked the 1/4 inch...this one has a lip that makes it perhaps a little faster. I wish I had saved my $10.
    Unless you pp a lot.
    Just MHO

    :oops: Sorry didn't read all the post before I made my reply. You explained it much better than I. BrendaK

    I suggest that you buy one, I find mine to be essential to ease the process and insure accuracy in paper piecing.
