I have never used the snips but I did make a quilt using the Accuquilt Go Rag die. When I cut my squares, I cut 2 of flannel and one of cotton at the same time so my squares were already sandwiched and I didn't have to put them together. I also put a page from a magazine on the die before I put my 3 layers of fabric on. It seemed to lessen the amount of threads that got caught in the die. When I sewed them together, I just placed the outside edge of my pressure foot at the inside edge of the cuts. I did have a couple of the snips that got caught up in the seam but I didn't worry about them. It still ragged nicely and by placing the sewing seam where I did, I don't have any fear of them loosening or coming out from fraying. I have nerve issues in my hands so cutting the snips by hand with scissors isn't an option for me.
