To introduce a lot of flare, the paper should be cut in two places, once as described in Step 14, and a second time as shown here. The "pinch off point" where the cut jogs over to the edge of the pattern piece can be placed higher or lower depending on how close one would like the flare to begin with regard to the waist. The exact location at which the pattern is "slashed" (cut - "slashed" is the technical term for this procedure) is not all that important. What matters is how much it is swivelled (how much flare is introduced).
