here are pictures of what my hubby did with mine
He cut two pieces of plexiglas, 4"x6" and I just tape the ruler to the top so that the lip of the ruler is along the upper edge.
Just have to set the ruler in place, flip over the paper pattern onto the plexiglas, bring down the ruler, and slice off that excess fabric.
Makes it so easy to get that perfect 1/4" or 1/8" seam.
