    Have both, love them. I use a ruler to lay out/line up where the cut will be, butt the slidelock up to the ruler, remove the ruler and then use the slide lock. I didn't think the clear one would show up so well on white fabric, so got the yellow pair. Best took I've ever purchased.

    I agree 100%...love, love, love it. I only have the small one. I used the large one but I don't feel I need it.
