I use a utility knife and start in the groove of the quill and go from there. The knife tip will usually follow the groove to the end.

yep, then I put the side I'm going to use in a straight Bitz clamp and take the sanding block to it.....quick and easy.

I use a utility knife also, I have found it seems to work better if you cut on a piece of wood, and when you start the cut, push the tip of the knife blade into the wood, then pull the feather through the blade slowly. Then I too use a straight clamp and sand them on my belt sander..
