It's just a practice thing King Theodin88. The Arrow should line up perfectly but from what I've seen not many people get it spot on.
As far as general cutting goes, make sure to do your cuts in a few passes, don't try and push through paper and foam in one go. I'll usually pass over each cut at least 3-4 times before I go right through. Make sure your blades are sharp and held at an acute angle to the foamboard. For cutting corners and curves, don't try and follow the curve around. Cut straight lines past the curve, like so:

See how straight lines can make a curve? This technique HUGELY increased the neatness of my cuts. Good luck!
Don't forget the possibility to sand the corners even more round with 120~200 grid sandpaper. (maybe also suitable for inside curves?)
