I use chalk to outline and then use scissors and a carpet knife.

The key is to take your time.

This.

For a professional result you want to use a hot wire.

If you don't want to pay $60 for a wire cutter, a $10 electric carving knife is a good way to cut it. It doesn't look as good as the wire cut though.
