cutting out and trimming graphics/decals

[qwavemi525]

I apologize in advance if this question has been asked previously. I did search the site first but I can never find anything in my house or online

I really suck at cutting out, trimming, making straight borders for any of my graphics/decals. I use a T square, cutting mat and sharp hobby blade - but the results are always the same = looks like a two year old did the job. My eyesight bites - even though I use special eyewear - and my brain appears to have no idea where my hands are or what they are doing.

Is there a tool or device - maybe similar to a paper cutting board - for people like me?
Anybody out there straight cut impaired? Help?[/b]

Good sharp scissors have always worked for me. Sometimes a brand new X-Acto knife.

Seconded. I use the super sharp scissors made for trimming nose and ear hair. Also, I cut on a big old piece of tempered glass that covers my bench

thanks for the suggestions. I bought new blades and scissors and made a cutting board. I have noted improvement in my cutting when i use clamps to secure the the decals and straight edge. I was about to give up. now there is hope!
