I have all of my blocks and boarders sewn together. My question - is it easier to draw around the template, and cut them out, or should I just go for it and jump right in with my rotery cutter. I'm scard of over shooting the mark and cutting something I shouldn't. Any and all advice would be appreciated.

I'm making one, too. I'll check back and see what others say as this is a question I have been thinking about.

So much easier to just use your rotary cutter, just go slow!!!

I bought one of the little rotary cutters just for this task. I use it on the big and the little twisters because it just allows me to cut what I want without going past it. I wouldn't mark it and cut - that'd take all the fun out of how quick and easy the pattern is to begin with. :)

What a good idea. My one twister block had a slash in it because I over cut.

I also would just cut.

Just cut slowly with the rotary cutter. I worried about the same thing and didn't have a problem. And it is so fast!!! You will really enjoy it.

Thanks for all of your input. I got both the 5" and 10" sizes. I started with the smaller size thinking that it would be easier too figure out.
