Default Any tips for cleaning threads out of Accuquilt Go! dies?

I just used one to cut triangles, but now there are threads in the corner areas. I noticed fabric getting stuck in those corners as I cut. I have the Accuquilt pick here somewhere; will order another one if I can't find mine. Just wondering if there's something else I can safely use. It's not a lot of threads in the corners, but I can see them continuing to pack down in there. At what point do you stop and clean out threads?

Incidentally, this is the new 3x6" flying geese die. Noticed that there is one tiny spot on the triangle's long edge that always misses a thread. Should I email the company? I really don't want to go to the trouble of returning this die just for that one-thread spot; besides, I might need to cut a few more before this quilt is finished.
