Any cotton fabric cut small and then wet then steamed will distort and shrink. I heavy starch all my fabric before cutting. I have a Go and always starch before cutting with the dies. I don't starch pre cuts like Jelly rolls or charm squares before cutting them. My favorite starch is Niagara in the pump bottle. It smells great and does not flake. I always starch the back of the fabric, never the front.
