I have one, for years. I have never used it and don't know how to use it. But heh, I got it, just in case. LOL!!!

NO! It isn't this; it's totally different!

bought one when we did Fan Dance and it came in handy. I think it is for small paper piecing projects.

By all means, get yourself one. That ridge makes all the difference. I wouldn't be without mine for pp. And they're not expensive.

I have both the 12" one & the 6" ones I use them all the time for pp. They save so much time in trimming. Well worth the $.

Unless somebody gives it to you for free, you will pay a bit for shpg. so you might be better off buying one at your LQS. Wal Mart may also have them. Can't remember for sure.
