I also have the 18mm mini rotary cutter and it works like a charm on Drunkard's Path templates. I have seen more of a box cutter looking tool but finer--hubby uses them to carve--he said they are called X-acto knives--different sizes for different things--but basically they are a razor blade on a stick so "tracing" around the template with one would cut the fabric. I'm sure the blade will dull much quicker than a rotary cutter but still a lot easier than marking & cutting with scissors. I actually remember my grandmother taping a razor blade to a stick to use for some crafting purpose. She quilted, made rag rugs, sewed clothing for all the grand kids from her own patterns made out of paper bags, sold produce from her giant garden and orchards, etc. Any thing you can think of to make or save a buck she would jump on.
