About rag snip scissors, I've used every brand. Honestly using the Heritage rag snips does not make my hands tired at all. The Fiskars and F&P rag snips are not the same. Homespun fabric is the best for making rag quilts but usually Homespun is all plaid, but it's inexpensive and will hold up in a rag quilt.
I have never had a problem with the snipped edges getting in my way of sewing when using the rag die to make pre snipped cut squares.
I wash the rag quilt one time in hot water (because I don't pre wash my fabric unless it's flannel), toss in dryer and check lint trap often. When dry I take it outside and shake until I get bored with it.
