If the scrap fits on the shape that all you need. I never cover the whole die with fabric. In demos the die is covered with fabric because it's much faster not to fuss and get the demo over and more people to see it. I get frustrated when I see a demo at a quilt show and hear people walk off and saying That thing wastes too much fabric! It's easy to see you only need to cover the die. The person demoing it has precut fabric that covers the die for fast and easy demos and I think that is one reason many think the die has to be covered.
I have the 2" square die for the Go. I have all the square and strip sizes. I don't like to cut with a rotary cutter at all.
