I made a flannel rag quilt using my rag die. I used 1 layer of cotton and 2 layers of flannel. I layered the cotton and the 2 layers of flannel together and cut a set of 3. I loved how it made all the snips for me! I did find that if I placed a piece of paper (I used an old magazine page) on top of the cutting surface of the die then layered my fabrics it cut down on the fabric threads that got stuck in the die around the cutting edges. Threads do tend to get stuck down in the grooves and you will have to use your picking tool to get them out or your die won't cut all pieces of the fabric completely. Made it so nice to have all the pieces of each block cut out together!
