Paper piecing question

I am trying to PP and I have a question. What line do you cut on after the sewing is done? I watched a Fons and Porter video and it said to cut on the solid line but she was not using the same pattern as mine. Here is a picture of the pattern and the piece i sewed. I cut on the solid line but now I'm thinking when I attach this to the background the point will be lost.

In that pattern you cut on the dashed line so you have seam allowance. Some patterns don't show a seam allowance, so you need to remember to cut 1/4" from your pattern edge to allow for sewing it to the other sections or the sashing. I've messed up before because each pattern can be different from different designers. I love PP, it's my favorite way to piece!
