I confess to the wasting of fabric! However, I do keep any pieces for crumb work!!
However, I also rationalize that the wastage is well worth it ... for the pointy points and perfection that comes as a result!
When FC+PP ... I cut a window in the line drawing, and frame it over for the fabric, then mark the outside edge, usually just at the corners (which would become the sewing line). Those new Frixxion markers have been heros for this! Then depending on the placement of the piece, I may cut it the precise size needed, or oversized. And then insert it in the PP was needed.
