I bought this ruler also and absolutely Love it. I can cut my strips and small squares and rectangles so much faster; and they are accurate!!!

I had to spend some time figuring out how to pre-cut the backing squares, then fold the remaining fabric so I wouldn't have more than 4 layers to cut through. Once I had a cutting plan, I was pleased at how fast it went. It was easy to subcut into the various rectangles that I needed. I had no cutting errors from misreading the numbers on the 6" X 24" ruler or from the ruler sliding a bit. I will end up with too many rectangles of one size because I'm cutting in bulk, but that stack can go in my leaders and enders pile.
