Step 2. Use a pencil to agilely account the appearance of a bow-shaped moon on the aback of the white vinyl.

Aback operating the punch, I had the best luck aback the vinyl was adverse up and I confused the blades absolutely quickly. If you try to bite the vinyl too slowly, the vinyl can get ashore in the blades and actualize asperous edges. Punching bound creates nice apple-pie bend lines!
