I starch before cutting out...this makes the fabric stiff and easy to cut and then if you like you could starch the 2 squares together...works as well as glue and less messy...if you have a lot to cut...starch the strips together before cutting squares...

Could be too much pressure on the foot.
I don't recall have that problem. May be a good idea to cut a little bigger then trim, if all else fails to solve the problem. I don't starch anything. |

Spray them both with starch then press them with your iron together (one on top of the other)........that should help.
Sometimes just ironing them together without starch keeps them together long enough to sew...... |
Is it cheating to sew BEFORE you cut?

I always over cut (think Eleanor Burns) my squares then trim after I sew them together. I also starch rather heavily.

Try starching fabric putting together then cutting out together.

I do the same, then they are perfect.

Wonder Clips are perfect for this. You don't have to remove them from the edges when you sew. I use to use Wonder tape but it's expensive for a lot of squares.
