I am one of those Accuquilt Go owners that wishes I had never bought one. The learning curve, and all the do this, do that, then starch, prewash, or don't prewash drove me up the wall. I tried cutting strips and had to resort to 2 layers using paper. The die seemed to get dull, the mat was scored, and I gave up. my goal is one day to spend 8 hours or so, just implementing all the suggestions. But when the quilting bug bites, I want to forge ahead, not play with a machine. I guess if I did standard quilts, where I needed lots of one cut, it will come in handy.

how many layers did you try to cut at one time? I have never had a problem.

I found I had the same problem and then put the paper on top of the fabric before the cutting mat and presto they came out perfect! Who woulda thunk it!

I have noticed that once the die starts going, if you don't touch it as it goes through, you get a truer cut. Other than that, I don't have an answer for you. But, I am sure you can still use the blocks.

I use paper on top of my die blades under the fabric for just about all my cuts. I don't have to worry about grain when I use paper. I got that hint from card makers using the big machine. Mats are suppose to get scored. They are disposable so keep a good supply of them on hand. I love my Go, it saves me so much time and I rarely get a miss cut. I don't remember having a learning curve though. Just followed the instructions on each die package and didn't have any problems.

I have had a learning curve on my accuquilt, especially with strip cutters. When I starch and press them before cutting, they come our fine.

I have only had an issue with the square dies...but you can still sew with them...just off a bit but does not show when you sew..I love all of the other dies...totally worth it!

I do save my fabric receipts ... Just throw them into a shoe box ... It has proven very handy ... When I want to return ...

Accuquilt is a life saver for me. I have rheumatoid arthritis and a broken shoulder that will probably never completely heal and my cutting days would be over for me if not for the Accuquilt. I didn't find a learning curve at all. Like Bella, I just read the instructions and went for it. My favorites are the strip dies. Sorry you're having trouble and hope you find a solution soon.
