Get a triangle or make one and use as a guide for cutting at 45 degrees But I cut with scissors and so I have to lift up the weave a little bit. By lifting it up, it is difficult to hold the template in place. I could mark it with spray color or something or cut it laying on the table with a sharp blade. I fear the strands would get loose, when i tack a masking tape to it and cut along the masking tape. How do you cut it? regards Frank Edited 7 Years Ago by Frank
