I haven't had an issue with cutting......mine makes a high pitched squeaking noise and I can't figure out why. Its quiet at first and then after I've run thru a few dies it starts to make the noise. Anybody else have this problem?

The company says to store the dies upright. If they are piled one on top of the other, apparently the weight can play havoc with the die blades.

I have a ton of dies, love them all but the squares are always slightly off. Once I do sew them no one knows since I can make them pretty much match. Still worth the money and time. I must say though sometimes I use the rotary cutter when doing squares...sometimes

I am going to try this trick with the paper that she shows when cutting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRf2jXeghBc

I, too, have problems with my dies. And I lost so much money on inaccurate cuts. My strips come out wonky, and squares come out short by 1/8". I took a private class on everything to do with cutting, and that didn't work. I just wonder if there is something wrong with the machine itself - maybe pressure is not consistent which causes fabric to move? I did receive a bad die - 2 1/2 strip die was warped - it didn't lay flat. So look at the way the dies you have problems with lay on a surface you know is perfectly flat. If they come up on one end, that is your problem. Hope we can all master our cutting. When I go to cut, I am so, so very careful how I place my fabric. I have each die marked with a sharpie. It just makes me sick because I have terrible wrists, and need to use the Go every time I cut pieces and strips. I'm so glad you started this post.
