Measure and measure again before cutting out! Use good quality dressmaking shears (these will last you for decades if carefully looked after and not used for anything except fabric, so are well worth investing in). Mark your cutting line with pins or dressmakers’ chalk before cutting so you’ve got a line to follow.
If the fabric got creased in the bag on the way home, iron out the creases before cutting.
Cut out onto a hard surface such as a big table or a hard floor.
