It also comes in a 6 inch length, which might be easier to deal with depending on the blocks you're making.
It's a fabulous little notion to have, and I use it ALL the time when I'm paper piecing.
You can pp without it, but if your teacher is going to be using it in class for a new technique (to you), you're probably better off having it. I'm sure the shop sells it.
I couldn't have said it better myself! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE paper piecing. Being somewhat of a minimalist when it comes to gadgets, I told myself I could get along without that silly little ruler... But, after making several paper piecing projects without it, I finally bought a "silly little 1/4 inch ruler," for a whopping $6.75. I was just plain mad at myself for not getting one sooner!
