Cutting guide with seam allowance recess

A method of producing a cutting guide, comprising the steps of:

• providing a body having a top surface and a generally flat bottom surface, each of said top and bottom surfaces extending to each of four sides having unequal lengths, wherein one pair of said four sides joined at a corner defining an interior angle of about 90 degrees, said body having a thickness sufficient to guide a cutting tool along one of a plurality of sides of said body;
• and
• disposing a recess in said bottom surface of said body, said recess having a width defined by location of a pair of linear opposed sides disposed a distance apart in generally parallel relation, said recess having a depth defined by location of a cross member coupled between said pair of linear opposed sides, wherein said recess intersects at least a pair of said plurality of sides and said corner defining said interior angle of about 90 degrees.

A cutting guide comprising:

• a body having a top surface and generally flat bottom surface, each of said top and bottom surfaces extending to each of four sides, wherein two of said four sides have equal length, and wherein a first pair of said four sides join at a corner defining an interior angle of about 90 degrees, and wherein a second pair of said four sides join at a corner defining an interior angle of lesser or greater than 90 degrees, said body having a thickness sufficient to guide a cutting tool along one of a plurality of sides of said body;
• and
• a recess disposed in said bottom surface of said body, said recess having a width defined by location of a pair of linear opposed sides disposed a distance apart in generally parallel relation, said recess having a depth defined by location of a cross member coupled between said pair of linear opposed sides, wherein said recess intersects at least a pair of said plurality of sides and said corner defining said interior angle of about 90 degrees.
