I love mine too. This is one of those tools that for me it saves time as I can quickly take a thick recipe card, place it on the top of the sewn fabric right on the sewn seam, fold over that last piece sewn, put the add a quarter ruler up against the card/fabric seam, and cut to the 1/4". No fussing. And, the 1/4" marking is thicker so it is easy to butt up against the seam. No checking to make sure the other rulers I have line up. For me, it works. It is like other tools-whatever you need for the project, you have close by. Kind of like putting the rotary cutter inside the Klutz glove. I know I will need the cutter, so it also reminds me to use the glove. I don't start anything unless I have everything I need right at hand. Becomes habit. Not everyone agrees or does this, but it works for me.
