Dear Nancy,
You can cut along a curve with a rotary cutter, though they are really designed for straight cuts. To cut along a curve, it is easier to use a smaller rotary cutter. We recommend practicing with some muslin or other inexpensive fabric until you get the hang of it.

Would you let me know if that's OK?

Thanks,
