Perfect measuring, folding, cutting by Tine Noreille - Digital download
Measuring, folding, cutting, scoring …
You do it all the time when working with paper. For measuring, folding, cutting and scoring you often use pencil markings. However, because of the thickness of the pencil line, the inaccurate placing of the ruler or incorrect positioning of the craft knife, you very seldom get a perfect result.
If you want neatly finished books, machine trimming is often needed afterwards.
With this cutting and folding method you skip the pencil phase, you measure and cut at the same time, very quickly and as perfect as can be done by hand. Quicker, more accurate and easier!
No more trimming! Perfect for non-adhesive bindings.
Not only for signatures…
- Cutting long strips (even if they are longer than your ruler)
- Cutting cardboard and paper perfectly square
- Checking square angles
- Folding a perfect concertina
- Cutting accurate mountings
- Drawing parallel lines for calligraphy
- Making complicated folding systems easier
- …
Those are but a few of many possibilities.
Once you have mastered the technique you are bound to find other handy and useful possibilities.
Not only meant for bookbinders…
Easy to learn...
