All I can say is it takes lots of practice! Sometimes I just go as far as I can straight and then reinsert the blade on the other side and cut down it and cut the corners with my cutterbee scissors. It also helps to run your knife through the template a few times before you use it. This sometimes will
that's what i do as well and just cut it out with the scissors after
The trick to cozzule is let the tool do the work! Relax your wrist and the grab on the tool and let it glade or flow --- don't try to control the blade let the cozzule template do that. Sometimes going around corners may require you stop -- don't lift the blade but change the direction you are holding at - and then continue - it does take a little practice - in fact watch as you make the straight cut --- look at your hand the cutting edge of the knife and the position within the template - pay attention to how you "drag" to cut and duplicate the same effort going around the corner. I also find that by leaving the tool in place and rotating the entire template and paper sometimes helps - I've also use herma adhesive tape runner on the template and stuck it to the paper to help the whole process.
Good luck!
