1/4 inch is only used for skinning over existing drywall.
#1= the fire stop value,#2= your standard door/window frames/jambs are made for 1/2" 1/4" drywall consuming to scrape and skim the wall.

After you cut the drywall fairly straight, you can clean up and straighten the edge out with a drywall....
Are you using a drywall square to cut along?
