The only way I could do that would be to press the seams open and that takes much more time and patience.

Your choice of brand might be guided by the variety of dies available for each brand and the dies you are more likely to use - the dies are not interchangeable.<br /><br />There was not a lot of fabric waste as the die used for 2 1/2" squares requires a long narrow strip of fabric which is placed on the die, then cut into squares as you manually roll it through the machine. I cut my strip a scant 1/2 wider than the required width and that was my only fabric waste. Different dies/shapes may result in more fabric waste - like say a Drunkard's Path die, although you would have similar fabric wastage if cut with rotary cutter.
