What this tool is for

Questions about this tool
Is it a general square ruler?
The guide is shaped for folded corners. Use a square-up ruler to trim four sides of a complete block.
Can I use it on a piece wider than 5 inches?
Check the manufacturer’s marked range before planning a larger corner.
Do I need to mark every diagonal first?
Follow the maker’s cutting and seam-placement sequence for the folded-corner technique.
