welcome to the forum.

 

if you are talking about a cutter that you press straight down to cut (no sawing motion), i think using a piece of craft foam might help to get a complete cut. it will give an allowance for any irregularities between the cutter and your cutting surface.

Art, I agree but I wouldn't waste my foam sheets... maybe a rubber mat like a silicone kitchen mat.

I use thin plastic cutting sheets from Walmart. After they get too scratched up from kitchen use they get repurposed for craft and hobby use. A pack of 4 costs about $5 US and lasts for a long time.

You could probably use wing burners on the synthetic raffia.

A pencil eraser makes a good cutting mat, and costs only pennies.

+1 on an eraser. Works great, and is cheap. I use a "pen" easer as I think the "pink pearl" type, having some abrasive in it, will dull your blade faster.
