Working on my interior, Tips wanted

Working on wrapping my glove box, will soon move on to dash pad and other pieces. What is the right cutting method for making sure there are no fingers or lines when wrapping around rounded corners. This is my progress so far. It looks way better in person. Not sure if its my camera on my One M8...at any rate...Looking for tips, criticism and leads to information.

Thank you, thats kinda what I have done. The surgical tools are a must. When I did the dash pad my razor blades were not as sharp as I would have liked them and the vent cuts are pretty jagged with the bottom fabric showing.

Take a scrap piece and heat it and get a feel for the way it reacts to the heat before scorching it. It becomes extremely pliable and will stretch when hot. Like I said practice with some scrap first or you'll have a mess.
