I hear about wastes so much by people that watched a demo or doesn't have one. The demo is for showing how it works the fastest way possible which means covering the die. At home you take a little time to cut the fabric pieces to fit the shape not the die. I have about 1/4" waste around the cut if I measure the size of the shape. Usually I eyeball the size of the fabric I need. For cutting scraps I put the fabric anyway it will fit to cover the shape. I have all the basic sizes of squares, rectangles, hist, quarter hsts, strips, diamonds, and circles. I like the BOB dies to get block cut at one time. I have the Go Me (Baby) and it's harder to use then the big one because it takes a good push to get it going sometimes but my grands use it so it isn't that bad. The dies are almost double or triple the price from when I bought mine from years ago and honestly not the same quality. I can tell a difference from the new dies from the older ones for the Go machines. I had to reglue the foam to a lot of the new dies. The older ones are still intact and the foam seems better.
