I have a question for those of you who do these type of cuttings.  How do you cut all the tiny line pieces (that are only attached at very small points) without them breaking out at some point???  I love these kind of patterns, but have never attempted anything so tiny and meticulous, but would love to try.

Thanks,
Ken

Ken when I cut these patterns and there are tiny delicate places in them I save the cutout and tape it back in place after cutting to hold the delicate part in place. That way you have less risk of breaking.. I keep a roll of clear tape beside my scroll saw just for that purpose.. There are times I even cut small strips to have them ready. I hope this helps and hasn't confused you... Sheila
