I made my rag quilt using the go, I found if I cut all three layers of the block together helped immensely. I used a layer of cotton, flannel for my batting and flannel for my backing. I laid all 3 pieces on my die and cut them out. This helped mesh them together. I didn't have trouble with the raggey edges getting out of control when I sewed them together. I have read on here that some will put a piece of blue painters tape on the fringes to keep them together when sewing the blocks together.
