I'm not an expert...I learned everything from Ebony Love. She marks her dies and so I did too. Then you know how much to cut so you don't waste so much. For instance...the amount to cut one dove is 8" X 8 1/2 inches, almost square. (see picture). Ebony recommends using a sharpie metallic silver marker to mark your lines. It outlines the blade and then use a ruler to mark the lines around the item just outside the blade.
I do have a Studio and have never used a "Go". But this is how I have organized mine so far. Hope this helps.

I used labels on the outside with larger print (old eyes) and the size I need of fabric to cut out the shape

This dove uses an 8 X 8 1/2 piece of fabric to cut out one body and wing.

This Heart uses a 10 X 11 1/2
