Fit and buying advice
Match the ruler to the trim size, which can be larger than the finished block size in your pattern. If the pattern needs a 12½-inch raw square, check a larger ruler. Compare a smaller square when you mostly trim mini blocks.
Questions about this tool
Will it trim a 12-inch finished block with seam allowances?
Check the pattern’s raw target. A finished 12-inch block can call for 12½ inches at this step.
Where are the center guides useful?
Use them to align the center before trimming, such as on a four-patch or appliqué block.
Should I use it for long strips?
Compare a long rectangle when the cut exceeds the square’s edge.
