I am cutting 5-6 oz leather. I will definitely try out all of your suggestions and hopefully see some improvements with practice. So will these techniques help to the point where my curves wont be choppy? Or is some sanding to round things out to be expected?

Im having problems with the simplest of things. I am trying to get smooth cut lines. Are my cut lines ever going to be perfect and right on my template lines? I seem to drift off a little. Also when I am making curved cuts they tend to look choppy instead of smooth. I try to sand it down to where it looks like a smooth profile but when I bevel my edge it is very obvious that there is still same jaggedness to my cut. Any pointers on what I could do to improve? I am using a #2 Xacto knife if that matters.
