Or combine the two ......... use one of the smaller sized rotary cutters
and zip around the templates!
Though, not so good, if you have paper or box board templates.
Can be done, but you need to be reeeeeeeeeally careful!
A glass cutting shop can cut plexiglass templates for you in most any shape.
I've done it several times. The first I did were apple cores.
Zipped around those curves in no time!!
