I use the tracing wheel also. I place colored tracing paper on top of the fabric, lining up the edge. Use the straight edge of the ruler to mark the measurement needed, then use the tracing wheel along the ruler edge. Using the colored tracing paper reinforces the marked line from the wheel, and when folding over the edge, I know if I am spot on or not.

Just had a thought. There is an inch binder maker . I have one and did use it for wide sashing in a quilt. Very easy to use, you put fabric through tool thick to thin take end that comes out and pin with a pin without plastic onto you ironing board and press as you pull out.
