It so helps to make my mark measurements consistent from page to page. I got the clear one at Hobby Lobby. You could also purchase a precision ruler. I purchased this one from Amazon.

Do you mean the A&M pattern. If so, possibly. I think it would work, I just have not tried it. Let me know if you do and if it works. Send a picture too if you can.
Hi there. Not a problem. To do an innie, you would leave the first tab (edge of page to first cut), then fold the next tab, and continue alternating. For an outie, you fold in the first tab, and leave the next and continue alternating from there. If you still aren’t understanding, go to my Etsy site (bobbilively.com) and message me. I can send you a document the explains and has pictures. Hope this helps.
If you look on Etsy and search for book folding, I have seen some people with other implements to get the 180 technique in. There may be one for 1.5cm.
Lisa Douglas it’s hard to eat plain but I will try. When you don’t do the 180 technique, you end up with “shadows” when you display the book. With the 180 technique you don’t get the shadows and the books ends up fuller. I hope this helps a little bit.
Thank you for this tip on using the slide bar to measure for cur and fold book folding. What a time saver.
Thank you for this! It is quick and explains everything very well.
Thanks, it makes the work very neat.💗
Thank you!!!
Where did you get the ruler that you use? I like the bar on the end!

Do we fold it to the line you made or fold it at the crease that you made. Sorry new to this project
You fold to the scored line.
Should you 180 every page first and then go back and measure, mark and fold. Or do each page one at a time 180, measure, mark and fold?
I fold one page at a time. Sometimes two. I found If you do the entire book, the pages become unwieldy to mark easily.
For the ATM pattern, is it possible to do the mark/fold & not cut the pages?
Do you mean the A&M pattern. If so, possibly. I think it would work, I just have not tried it. Let me know if you do and if it works. Send a picture too if you can.
Will you please explain how to do innie and outtie patterns?

When is the 180 used in a pattern and can it be used with any cut and mark pattern
You can use it on any mark and fold pattern. I think it makes the books fuller so I use it on all my cut and fold patterns.
So is the 180 method basically the same as the measure mark cut and fold ?
Yes. After doing the fold in, just m, m, c, f as normal
@@bobbilively2628 thank you! You’ve been so helpful and I can’t wait to purchase more of your patterns from Etsy!
Where did you get your ruler?
It is from Hobby Lobby and the only place I’ve been able to find a t-square with the cm on the correct side.
Sorry for the delay in thanking you! I bought the ruler and it’s the best!
I want to do a 180 fold but 1.5 cm instead of 1 cm......any ideas?

What do you mean doubles every single page?

Can you do a 180 fold for a mark measure and fold?
If you are just folding with no cutting, then no.
@@bobbilively2628 thank you so much for your quick reply and I enjoy your tutorial very much
Do I have to count more pages to do the fold every other page .. don’t laugh at me I’m new to this 😫
No, the pattern lets you know exactly how many pages it takes to complete the pattern. Good question. Happy Folding!!
