Sounds good to me.
I was wondering about the shifting as well. I have the accuquilt go die for the rag and have cut and never had it shift so not sure why it shifted for the OP.
I have used cotton fabric up to 6 layers and cut with it and no problem with material shifting.
It'a not that it shifted. After running the die thru the cutter, when I remove the cutting mat, the static cling will pull the top layer of fabric with it so then my blocks won't be aligned together. This happens even when I am doing just cottons too.
It is extremely HARD to cut the 2 layers of flannel with the cutter. There's no way you could cut more than that without risk of damaging your machine.
