If you turn your scoreboard upside-down , you will be able to score easier when you're right handed. I find it much easier.

I never gave any thought to a score board as I am left-handed and scoring works fine for me! Made me realise if I was scoring with right hand...it would be awkward! That's a first in this right handed world!

I used a permanent black marker on the middle line of my scoreboard helped me line up things like this

@kmwwrench 3 ай бұрын

Another trick is to put the piece you want to score on the socreboard and then line your t-ruler up with the groove you want to use. I find that just having the marked line doesn't really keep me from going out of the channel, but the side of the ruler shows you where you really need to be all the way down.

It's mass liking April for me 😄 I was in a travel this month and could not watch your videos until now. I am binge watching what I missed, love love your creations! I have a tip for the scoring board: I've seen a youtuber drawing a black line in one of the central scores, so that you can match the correct line at the top and the bottom of a large piece. I did it with mine and works well.

Great project! I took a fine tipped marker in red and ran it down each inch line of my scoreboard. Then blue down each half inch so I could see them. Then when I had an envelope like that where I needed to see the line top and bottom I could use a coloured line to line up the edges on the right line. Hope that makes sense! 😊

I used a permanent black marker down the length of my scoreboard at the 6 and 10 inch score lines so it is easy to see where to line things up without measuring. Just line your project up on the black line at top & bottom & you've got a straight line.

another amazing idea Margret. You could also add a tab along the back of the top flap so you could glue on a journal page and then when you open the envelope and inside could be blank pages or a note book to use. - just an idea. cheers Heather NZ

I noticed that you were having trouble with lining up your score lines on your envelope. I had the same problem but I got this brilliant idea to draw a line with a black marker from top to bottom of my score board. now I can line things up with amazing accuracy.

@sheilaironside8099 3 ай бұрын

If you mark a line on your score board with a sharpie, in the center, it's much easier to line it up!

anything between 50 and 100 years old is vintage, and anything over 100 years is antique. so anything older than 1974 is now 'vintage' and anything 1924 or before is an antique. { However many people seem to think that something over thirty years old is now "vintage" - especially clothing} Having been born in 1956 I am therefore VINTAGE 😁
