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.
I don't use mine very much because of the fabric waste - but love the idea of pre-cuttting the fabric. I'll try that. It is a shame to have one and seldom use it.
