the 3.5 tumbler would be another choice it has 3 tumblers in a row..
the Chisel, drunkards path dies are probably less waste as they are pretty much straight edge cuts.. I think you might have false pretense with the GO, as you will never have no waste, if you place it blade edge to blade edge i have no doubt it will be short on the sides;fabric can and sometimes slide as it goes thru the cutter... and therefore you just wasted you fabric..
Take a look at their website.... however they post the die is what it is.. For example, look at the 3.5 tumbler, it will show three in one row..
You do have to be careful of the grain because it will distort the size; I found out that the hardway. I also like the strip cutters. You can then take the strips and cut them the way you want.
