The tutorial instructs you to use a rotary cutter.
I’ve done a bit of this, and trust me, scissors are much easier for cutting curves.

Thanks for the tip! I’ve tried free hand cutting with my rotary cutter one time and I was pleased with the results, but results are bound to be variable doing it this way.
