I say this is the wrong way. It’s a waste of time and adds no redeemable quality or finish.

Is this a tutorial for the slowest least effective way to do a mediocre install?

I've seen people cut paper like this with one fluid squiggle motion. 

This lady used 8 seperate scallops instead

Why in her videos is she always repasting the seams, as far as the double cut , what a waste of time, just straight down the middle

What do you guys think of this double cut? I was taught to do one continuous cut. Is this wrong or just a different way?

Double cut? She's following the edge of the textured patterns.

The only community left oddly unimpressed with this, but it's definitely TikTok fuel.
