I understand the second link, I use the same paper I peeled off the fusible, draw the shapes on it, then iron to transfer the pattern to the already fused fabric?
How does this work if I don't have a bunch of shapes? For example, I called to find out how many birdholes will be in the BOTM and was told they are different sizes, and I only had a template for the first birdhouse. So I could only cut out three birdholes (circles) saving the rest of the fabric for later.
In that case I think the ideas about scoring the middle and peeling out will work well.
Thanks everyone!
btw I use my paper scissors (reserved for sewing patterns) when I cut out the fusible and paper together.
