Default Do you feel your accuquilt dies through at an angle or straight on?? Need help

I've seen in several videos that you should feed your accuquilt dies through your cutter (I have the GO) at a slight angle. When I have done that, the fabric seems to bind up under the cutting mat and I get tiny jagged edges to my strips so it just doesn't seem right. I've noticed in the GO Electric videos that it appears the dies are feed straight through.

I have dies that were purchased during the past 2 years and the shapes are positioned on the die boards at a slight angle. I noticed in videos that the older dies had the shapes parallel to the edge. So, I'm wondering if the rule to run the boards through at an angle is really only relevant to the old dies that had the strips/shapes parallel to the edge? Or, should I be angling my board so that the strip runs parallel through the cutter? I'm just not getting the results I think I should so it feels like I am doing something wrong.
