It may depend on the size of the die. With smaller pieces, the distortion will be insignificant. With the 5" square die, quite a few people have noticed that if you are not careful with the grain, there will be 1/8" difference in sides. This is probably because the roller stretches the fabric slightly as it goes through the machine. If the pressure of the roller is in the direction of a bias grain, the stretch will be significantly more than if it is on the lengthwise grain of the fabric. Starching fabric heavily before running through the Go! helps, as does using paper between the fabric and the mat. But if the die-cut pieces are small, the distortion may be too insignificant to affect piecing.
