Rag Quilt ? Part 1 -- Snip blocks before assembling or after?
#5
I have made several rag quilts, but I have never snipped the edges first. It might make them a little harder to sew together. I always snipped after I got all the quilt sewed together. I use Fiskars snip cutter and do it a little at a time because it is hard on my hands. Sometimes DH will help me snip.

I have the rag die for the Accuquilt Go and I had no issues sewing the squares together. I have read somewhere that the person placed a strip of painters tape on the snipped edges prior to sewing the blocks together. I don't know if it works or not. When I cut my squares, I cut all the components for each block at the same time. I cut the flannel backing, flannel batting (instead of regular batting) and the cotton front all at the same time. That way I didn't have to try and line up all those snips when putting my blocks together.
