I learned about this in a class. I love mine, and I have the add an 1/8 too for small pieces. I have both 6 and 12. inch, and now I want the 18 inch. My PP is far better now that I'm using it. Suggest you look for the YouTube video to learn how to use it properly. Also, i read on a blog (American Quilter?) recently how to use it for cutting with templates. A useful tool. Love it.

A must for paper piecing. Love mine for adding when I design a block.

I have two, of differing lengths, and I love them. Although I use them predominantly for paper piecing, I've grabbed one or the other for here-and-there use in design work.

It is great when paper-piecing...

Thanks, I was wondering what to use the 1/8" one for, duh makes sense, I haven't made anything that small yet to need a smaller seam.

I do a lot of paper piecing. It's my favorite type of quilting. I haver the 6" and wouldn't want to be without it.

I have both the 1/4" and the 1/8". I really couldn't get into PPing until I was introduced to these rulers.

The are the "mostest"....

PPing is now my favorite form of quilting.........I would be lost without these rulers.

I also have both - use then for freezer paper paper piecing. They are very handy!

I use it all the time when I paper piece. :)
I have both add 1/4 in 6 and 12 inches and add 1/8 6 inch.

check out Carol Doak's web site, she has a free tutorial for pp
I have also used it as a ruler, it is maked.

I love it for paper piecing. If I don't use it, I cut of my 1/4 inch.
