I try to get them to be flat so I can use my rotary cutter . So cut either the out side or inside seam. I like to keep the flat feld seam for potenial use , so most time I don"t cut that seam. Do be mindful od the straight of grain, its easy to see on jeans. I do keep the remains once I have cut squares, there may be enough to cut triangles , and then make into squares, it can add a bit more interest , and if you are running short of sqaures be very good to have on hand.
I almost forgot--- Use a new blade or close to a new blade in your cutter. I dull blade will make it tough going.
