Here are a few tips I can offer:
-Draw the design using the block design area rather than the Freeform Quilt layout.
-Draw long rectangles the length of the quilt to simulate the strips.
-Use the rotary cutter to cut the strips where you need them to be cut for design purposes.
-If you need to change the cut position on a single strip, select the two portions of the strip and use Effect/Merge to combine the 2 to make 1. Then cut in the new position.
-To select two or more pieces at once, press and hold the shift key on your keyboard and click on the patch to select it.
If you have any specific questions I can answer, please let me know.
