After drying it up you can press it up for your fabric to be ready to be cut. But before cutting it you have to relax your exclusive fabric for a day after pressing and afterward you can lay it in your flat table that is large for you to cut it freely.

You can pin all your pattern pieces to the fabric before you can start cutting for you to help in determining the patterns that you have to follow as you cut.
