Questions about this tool

Does it have a groove?

The listing describes printed guides on a flat tool. A grooved ruler offers a different way to align to a seam.

Can I use it for a 6-inch finished square unit?

Check the pattern. With quarter-inch outer seams a 6-inch finished unit commonly calls for a 6½-inch trim.

Are there marks between whole inches?

The listing identifies half-inch marks in addition to whole inches.
