Not at all. The Youtube demo's can be misleading. When I use my Go, I pre-cut the fabric to fit the die shape. Most of my cuts have only 1/4" of waste fabric around them (and for triangles, this is around a shape that contains several triangles). It is very comparable to the waste I get using a rotary cutter and ruler (from straightening the edge, etc.). Plus the die cuts are *very* accurate. Triangles especially are nice because all the dog ears are cut off, making them very easy to align for sewing.
