I use the 1/4 for paper piecing and the 1/8 for Dear Jane.

I wouldn't be without it for paper piecing. It helps you keep the 1/4" accurate and doesn't slip. Before I used it, I inadvertantly cut off the seams a lot!

I bought the add 1/4 and the add 1/8 both. I haven't used the add 1/8 yet but i have used the add 1/4 with the pp. I have really enjoyed it. IMOH i think it really makes the cutting a lot easier.

The "add a 1/4 ruler" is a must have if you do paper piecing! And if you are only going to buy one length, buy the 12" one!

That is one of the best things they have come out with.
Its perfect when your paper piecing. Well worth investing
your money in. I have two. Its also great for making 1/4
seam markings around your templates. Betty Lee

When you flip the fabric back and get ready to trim the seam allowance, line it up against the folded back paper and rotary cut along the edge of the ruler, it will leave you with a 1/4 seam, slick as a wink!

Yes i have one and it is a great gadget to have if you paper piece a lot, it makes it much easier. You can do paper piece without one, i did several without one, but sure do like the ruler.
