Ok this was a total duuuuh moment for me, but if it took me this long to think of then, then maybe I can help someone else…Use a rotary cutter to cut out the straight parts and gentle curves of print your own patterns, then use scissors on the rest.
Pattern Cutting Tip: Use your Rotary Cutter

Thanks for all your great posts!
