I cut a piece of paper first with every new die. If the dimension is off I get a replacement. I check each new die this way. I don't cut fabric before I check the die. Many times the paper will be cut perfectly to size and the fabric will be off. I know then that the fabric is shifting. I either have the grain line in the wrong direction or the fabric is stretching due to low thread count. If the fabric is prone to raveling it will stretch. A piece of paper on the blade before the fabric will usually solve the problem.
