I used the karen kay buckley - small green scissors to cut out the design, these little scissors cut right into the points - having a cerated edge the fabric doesn't move. I first poked a hole into the area to be cut out with my smallest rotary cutter.
You will find their prices are excellent, I received three patterns, the border pieces (2 pieces) and the bear with tree and berries (i piece). They also received payment thru paypal, and they Pdf'd the pattern pieces to me, so I could print them out right away. They have lots of nice patterns.
