Hi Patsy -
Hopefully you are bracing and clamping the plywood to Workmates or saw horses. If you're still getting tear-out with the proper blade, just don't use that jigsaw. I purchased the Bosch jig-saw and it does a wonderful job, so does a nifty tool called the Fein Multi-master. The downside is both tools will set you back almost $200 each. That's alot to spend if you won't use them for other projects. The suggestion about the Japanese pull-saw was excellent. You should get one anyway, you'll use it lots during your project and they can be purchased for less than $45. Woodcraft sells them. I second the notion that it will be almost as fast as a jig-saw AND NO NOISE! It's very easy to make precise cuts with a pull-saw. There are some "pull-saws" sold at home depot, not the real thing.
