Mad for myself I use a wider strip but I wanted to keep the waste down for everyone. I just do it carefully on the corners and don't go any farther than I have to. About a 1/4" from the corner or less and you should do ok. You can always pull the square up and out and run the blade over the bit of fabric still connected.
