Thanks everyone- I do use a wool ironing mat. May have to get some spray starch! And yes I listened to 2 tutorials and for sure have found that on this block I need to use a scant quarter! I have used accuquilt due cutters for years because of a pinched Ulnar nerve that affects my right hand! This die has been the most challenging for sure! May stop and make it a twin quilt instead of the King I was shooting for!
