Fit and buying advice
Use it for short checks and trimming on supported fabric. Keep a long cutting ruler for strips that exceed its 6-inch reach. The narrow body is useful precisely because it fits where a larger ruler would obscure the work.
Questions about this tool
Where is the quarter-inch guide?
Look along either of the two long edges for the dashed line just inside it.
Can I cut a long border with it?
Use a longer ruler if you need one continuous straight edge across the fabric.
Is the center line another quarter-inch mark?
The defined center line is half an inch from either long side.
