I use my piecing stitch on my sewing machine (scant 1/4" ) which allows me to use a regular foot. Since each "log" is 1/4" wide it's almost like having a seam guide on each side of the foot.
The biggest problem I had was that the Block Loc ruler was only about an inch wide and a little hard to go find a place to put your fingers to hold it in place without getting too close to the edge. Just have to cut slowly.
