Even the one about scoring... you reinforced for me what I "thought" was correct. One more reminder just makes me more sure about what I am doing and means that I am more likely to do it the correct way. Can't wait to see more of these and can't wait to see your projects from CHA!! That is what I've been holding my breath for all these weeks!!Charlotte Zweigoronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053428291881378072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302448142515665561.post-34216997264161781992013-07-27T11:13:47.790-05:002013-07-27T11:13:47.790-05:00These are a great idea.

I had to figure these things out myself and it is so nice to have a reference...and a visual one at that. I cannot wait for the one on boxes. Everyone seems to make them a little bit different but it is nice to know how to make it your way when I am following your patterns and projects.

And any time I can review something, it makes me happy if I already knew it and happier to learn new things. Your explanations always make sense.

So maybe your next video can be on the metric system or "smidges", "tiny bit" and every other measurement name you have used. :p These are great and I can't wait to see more. I have picked up some of your tricks from your projects. (Like pulling the backing off of score tape with a xacto or pick.) Your projects are beautiful! Can't wait for those dies to start showing up.

I've been crafting for a long time, and have had to figure so many things out for myself. I believe that you can never be so good at something that you can't learn something new. I never knew that about folding against the score. So I say, more please! More Back to Basics videos. And if you are taking suggestions, I would like to have a video on how to cut chipboard, and one on using stencils and sprays. My stenciling with sprays is terrible. And I can't wait to see your video on how to make a basic box. Keep your "Basics" videos coming!

I'm glad you made these videos for the beginners and for us not-so-beginners who might need a gentle reminder of something we've forgotten or learned wrong. Case in point...I learned folding on a score line the wrong way and ruined many folds until I learned the right way. And...pressing too hard when scoring...hated all the cracked and torn paper. texasbarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08362694699195310554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302448142515665561.post-6548353708453356102013-07-26T10:09:48.230-05:002013-07-26T10:09:48.230-05:00I'm not a beginner, but I loved your back to b...I'm not a beginner, but I loved your back to basics videos.<br />Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09163674365400142775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302448142515665561.post-63512852439694176442013-07-26T10:05:33.127-05:002013-07-26T10:05:33.127-05:00Thank you so much for both of these videos Jim!
