Much easier and more accurate than scissors.

My rotary cutter, quilting ruler and mat came in very handy… the cutter goes through 1/8in book board and card like butter with lovely smooth, accurate edges.

Granted, it did eventually blunt my blade and I had to buy some new ones, but it was very handy to use at the time.

Do that as well (but ususally I have to clean off hte other tools – far too dirty for fabric!)
