It has slots for marking the cutting line when placed on a square from corner to corner and then you draw a line on either side so that in one placement you mark your 3 Lines for sewing and cutting HSTs. There was no doub about where to sew and cut. Easier on my eyes ( that are getting wonky these days) than having to move and adjust a small ruler. Just an idea....
It's funny that everyone uses this thing differently. I just mark the center line, quicker that way. Then I use this line as my cut edge and stitch 1/4" away. Only one line to mark.
