It took me about half-day to cut all the squares, so I don't think too bad timewise. I folded my fabric in 4 layers, so that helped a lot.

You don't have to cut any of the other sizes! You just lay the fabric over the 1 1/2" square shape! It would take too long to cut all you need with only one shape on the die. I got this die to cut my left over scraps. I only use the 1 1/2" and 2". It really cuts them beautifully and accurately. I agree with others that say use the June Taylor Shape Cut! You can cut 1 1/2" strips, turn them sideways and cut the other direction. That would go real fast! I use it all the time if I need a lot of squares.
