My GO die for 2 1/2" squares has 6 or 4 on the die... Not sure not in sewing room now....I only have a GO and not too familiar with the scan...but can you, for example fan fold the fabric to get multiple cuts of a specific built in block, or do you have to cut a one piece of fabric at a time and run it thru? Besides the machine are their other accessories you have to buy as you use it? I am happy with my GO, it does what I need it to do and I also have a Sizzix big shot and some of their dies.....you have to decide what equipment best suits your personal wants/needs...
