Someone suggested putting a little dot sticker at the points where you want to cut, so you don't make that mistake. I made the same error first time I got in a hurry with it. I think putting tape across the bottom edge & just a black sharpie dot would work as well.
I do like cutting strips with mine & got it at Walmart years ago. Nancy Zieman has a tutorial on her website too; watch there.
As for avoiding the "Vee" at the fold, that is caused by not having your fabric folded on straight of grain first. It's not really an issue with the ruler, unless you are cutting fabric in the teardrop area. I have the long model & so the fabric starts & ends in the straight section, with only one fold on the WOF.
