Thank you for your very concise instructions I had downloaded a pattern and I'm new at this and had just done folding so the cutting was something different and I looked at the all those numbers and had no clue how to use it but you explain very well thank you
I want the writing to show within my design. Should I fold further in than what you show here? As in, instead of folding so the edge touches the writing, fold so the writing shows on the fold?
So all the others I see say to cut one page fold the edge on the next cut one page fold the edge of the next so cutting every second page and skipping a page. What is the difference if I skip every second page? Does it look better if you cut every page instead of skipping a page... I'm confused if I should skip or cut
It depends on your pattern. If you have a shadow pattern, then you skip every other page. If it is a regular cut and fold pattern, then you don’t skip pages. Your pattern should be telling you to skip or not to skip.
Is the cut and fold technique the same as the "combination fold" or the "combi". I am looking at patterns and in the description of the patterns references are made to the "combination fold" or "combi". Again Thank you for this video.
Thank you for your feedback. A combination pattern combined "cut and fold" with "fold only". With a combination fold, you fold (usually a 90 degree fold) to the first measurment and the very last measurement. Then measure, mark, cut and fold all the measurements in between. Hope this helps a bit.
Thank you for this tutorial I want you try a cut and fold for the first time but what I don't understand is the no matter what the pattern is do you skip every other cut?
It all depends on your pattern. If it is a shadow fold, then you skip pages, otherwise you don’t skip pages. Your pattern should be telling you to skip or not to skip.
I created a PAGE PAL which you can find directions for or an already made one at Craftylivelylady.com It really helps to hold all the pages of your book as you work on it. Especially the last pages when it gets soooo full.
That happens when measurements end up extremely close. When that happens to me - since it is the last measurements, I change the first measurement. For you that would mean change the first 12 to 11.9. Hope this helps.
Thank you. You were concise, easy to follow, direct, and to the point. I appreciate that about you.

The first tab is the corner of the page?
Yes. The first tab I’d from the top of the page to the first cut.
Ok
yes
Thank you for this tutorial I want you try a cut and fold for the first time but what I don't understand is the no matter what the pattern is do you skip every other cut?
So glad this makes sense to you. Let me know if you have any questions.
Does it matter if your cuts deeper than they should be as long as the fold is even?
@@lovelearnin5012 No, it does not matter. The most important part is keeping the depth of your folds even - just as you stated. Happy folding!!!

What's holding your book it look like PVC pipe?
I created a PAGE PAL which you can find directions for or an already made one at Craftylivelylady.com It really helps to hold all the pages of your book as you work on it. Especially the last pages when it gets soooo full.
I have a pattern that has duplicate measurements at the end of the line. What do I do with that? Example...4.9 5.4 6.7 12 12
That happens when measurements end up extremely close. When that happens to me - since it is the last measurements, I change the first measurement. For you that would mean change the first 12 to 11.9. Hope this helps.
