First off handheld jigsaws cut on the up-stroke as do circular saws. so your best cutting from the back. Try using masking tape on the good side, cut it then before you remove the tape brush some glue on the cut edge to lock-in any fibers that loosened up, let dry, then sand the edges smooth, then carefully remove the tape. also some good jigsaws (Bosh) use a dual reciprocating action where the blade moves forward and up, then down and back which reduces chip-out.
