I use mine a lot. I got a set of three - 4, 6 and 12 in. I love 'em! And for the poster who asked - you only draw the two sewing lines. Center marks hit the corners. Once the seams are sewn it's pretty darn easy to cut down the middle - which doesn't even need to be accurate.

Same here. I find one line is more than enough!

I have one but don't use it any more. I find one line down the diagonal center and sewing the with my 1/4" foot on both sides was faster and more accurate for me. If I needed the lines for a handsewing project I might use it though.

Love the 1/4" ruler it is great.
I love making HSTs with the wonder cut ruler. You sew a tube and cut it to make the HSTs. So easy, fast and accurate!!!! If I could only buy one, it would be the wonder cut ruler. I found it at a quilt show after friends told me about it. They have their own website. Think you can order it online.

Yes, I have that ruler plus a couple of other similar ones. I love the one where you can draw a line up the middle. It's great for half square triangles.

I have a "Add a 1/4" ruler for paper piecing. I like it! I also have a 1/4" foot for my machine. My eye balling was good, it just wasn't 1/4"

I have one and I use to mark half square triangles sets. Seems to be accurate and I like it. Hope this helps.

I have one, and since I have a hard time, still, with 1/4 inch seams, I use mine for HST and it works for me.

I have 2 by Fons and Porter. They came in a pkg. of (1) 8" and (1) 12". I use them for all my hst. Also use it to mark a 1/4" seam allowance when it is really critical and you can't really tell where to sew.
