What is the easiest way to cut exact edges above a curved archway? Thank you for any help you may suggest.

There are really no easy techniques for this. Place your paper and rough cut any excess with scissors. Then place your blade horizontal to the end of the arch and run it along the "ceiling" of the inside of the arch. Wait say 5 minutes and firmly smooth the first 2 inches of the paper where the paper ends and the underneath side of the arch begins.

Thank you Rebecca. We thought that was about the only way to go about it, so will try and see how it goes.
