Written by :   Hamphoz Cratos , Edited by :  Haryanto Chandra

1. It is recommended to use cutting mat, Because the material which was created to facilitate cutting by using the cutter.

2. More comfortable using a cutter eye condition which about 80-90%, because of the new cutter's eyes are too sharp and tend to be difficult to be directed.

3. A slightly stronger emphasis do when cut, intended to cut the line has not changed.

4. When the cut line which is rather long, try to elbow / arm is not attached to the counter / cutting board, so that hand gestures are not disturbed while cutting.

5. The most important Factors, FOCUS, sure and confident that we can cut it with a straight. Because in my experience, when we JUST A LITTLE DOUBT, then the result will cut off.

6. Keep practicing and practicing. As our friend Renie Marina always say, "Practice makes perfect." : D



If you are already able and familiar with it, like a page straight lines can be cut with a straight and neat, like Om Rauf who is always doing. ;)

nb:
-This technique can be applied for scoring as well, with the emphasis diminished 50 - 70%.
-If you want tried it do not jump in a pattern that is being done. Better to be tried in another pattern which is to exercise, because I will not be liable for any damages which occur if you make a wrong cut. :p

Good luck. :)

1. Disarankan menggunakan cutting mat, krn materialnya yg memang dibuat utk memudahkan pemotongan dgn menggunakan cutter.

2. Lebih enak menggunakan mata cutter yg kondisinya sekitar 80-90%, karena mata cutter yang baru terlalu tajam dan cenderung sulit utk diarahkan.

3. Lakukan penekanan yg sedikit kuat saat memotong, dimaksudkan agar jalur potong tidak berubah.

4. Saat memotong garis yg agak panjang, usahakan sikut/lengan tidak menempel pada meja/alas potong, agar gerakan tangan tidak terganggu saat memotong.

5. Faktor yg terpenting, FOKUS, YAKIN dan PEDE bahwa kita bisa memotongnya dgn lurus. Karena menurut pengalaman saya, saat kita SEDIKIT SAJA RAGU, maka hasil potong akan melenceng.

6. Terus berlatih dan berlatih. Seperti teman kita Renie Marina selalu bilang, "Practice makes perfect." :D


Kalo kamu sudah bisa dan terbiasa, mau garis lurus satu halaman pun bisa terpotong dgn lurus dan rapi, seperti yg Om Rauf selalu lakukan. ;)

nb:
-Bisa diaplikasikan untuk scoring juga, dgn tingkat penekanan yg dikurangi 50 - 70%.
-Kalo mau nyoba jangan langsung di pola yg sedang dikerjakan. Lebih baik dicoba di pattern lain yg memang untuk latihan, karena saya tidak akan bertanggung jawab atas kerusakan yg terjadi kalo salah memotong. :p

Selamat mencoba. :)
