I love fussy cutting!!!! I call cutting willy nilly haphazard where ever the number lands as "cutting fabric like a barbarian" lol lol lol I do cut fabric "like a barbarian" for normal quilting. But I do several projects that are intensely fussy cut. (La Pass) The easiest way I have found is to use a see through template and draw around the cutting line (outside edge of the template) and cut w/ scissors.
