I have the larger one. For longer yardage do you fold it several times? Won't it get wonky?

I use mine to square up bigger blocks. The 1/4" cut size is the best for this. You can't just place the ruler on fabric and cut without practice. Aligning the 0 cutting slot extended line to the edge of the fabric and the bottom measuring line across the fold will give you accurate cuts every time. I cut cheap muslin until I got the hang of it.

I was going to buy one recently only to discover I had one, still wrapped in plastic from several years back.
Needed it, opened it and have not stopped using.

I am used to a regular 6" wide 24" long ruler. It appears that on the video you have to fold the width of the fabric smaller than the regular fold-in-half, the way it comes from the quilt shop. Is that correct?
