Okay, I've cut some squares. I'm pretty pleased with it so far! The first 2 sets I cut came apart when I removed the cutting mat due to static cling. So I just took apart a magazine (not a quilting one, but a newsworthy one like "People") and placed a page between the top fabric and the cutting mat; Worked like a charm. The die doesn't cut everything so before I remove the squares I have to go around the edges and snip the random threads that are still attached to the cut away fabric. I won't be able to sew them for a couple of days but I'll let you know how that goes!!!
