I have both the small binder ruler which I have used for a long time and really like it. I was given the EZ ruler not too long ago and use it for making the binding, then sewing on the binding. I really like this ruler as it makes measuring, cutting, and sewing so much faster for me. I know there are some that will say you can use your long gridded rulers for this, but I prefer grabbing this one tool when I will be binding, and not having to figure much out at all. I think I will be using my QuiltCut 2 more for the cutting of the binding now that I have learned how. The EZ is slick when I drag it along to my sister's house instead of taking my cutter.
