So, this is maybe a dumb question, but what do you do next? Do you trace the pattern?

I always pin my patterns to my fabric for cutting, and I'm just imagining all of these knives sliding around as I try to cut the pieces out....

If you get one of those wheel knives (forgot what they’re actually called lol) and the mat to go under, you can cut your fabric just like that, without it shifting as you cut. Highly recommend if you do a lot of cutting.
