I have never had anyone explain this to me you did. I am so happy I stumbled upon this video. You are my lifesaver. Thank you so much. 45yr and it took you 15minutes to give me the best explanation I've been looking for.

As someone whose country uses the metric system - but uses a lot of American measurements in crafts etc - this is very helpful. Breaks it down in plain simple English - thank you

This is the ABSOLUTE BEST MEASUREMENTS TUTORIAL VIDEO I've seen. 20 yrs of sewing asnd card making 5yrs and you details, clarity and smooth narration are unmatched.

I think they should play this video in all grade schools! It is very well explained and easy to follow! You are an awesome teacher. Thanks for the video!

A big Dankeschön from Germany! I always struggle(d) with the really strange (for Europeans) way you guys measure! It was a big mysterium for me. Until now! You are the best!

Oh Maymay,thanks so much!! I'm hopeless at measuring anything,in fact I call myself measurementally challenged! You've explained this so simply and I think this video is really going to help me with card making.I can't thank you enough!

From one teacher to another....you did a fine job my friend. 📐

Great instructions on how to do measurements. Better than a teacher.

Thank you for this video. I am a adult and should have known how to read rulers - but I did not. Maybe I forgot , I'm 70. For whatever reason I'm certainly glad you took the time to explain. Betty

Thank you, so glad you made this video with easy to understand explanation. Most folk know this but, there are many of us who didn't, or, like myself not confident enough to think I had it right.

You did a fabulous job of explaining measuring. 10 starts to you for taking the time and making the effort. You rock!

The best explanation ever on how to measure by ruler, I'm a Quilter and still get messed up when it comes io 1/8,1/4,1/16! THIS MADE SENSE AND I HAVE THE MARTHA STEWART FOLDER N ENVELOPE MAKER, I Use to just wing it! Now I can a Actually use it! Thank You, Thank You!💟🇨🇦

As usual... another awesome, relevant, and easy to understand video! Love you! Thank you!!

This was awesome. I'm horrible with rulers. I'm always having to ask my hubby who is in construction to help me, which ends up being even more frustrating. I switched my Friskers cutter and MS score board for a We R Memory keepers score board and cutter in one. It has the measurements written on it in 1/8 ths, it's awesome. I do also have the TH,s ruler which is awesome!! Besides paper crafting I also make hand-bound Journals and the little holes are awesome for measuring and poking holes into the signatures. BTW, I found your channel via a recommended video, it was the envelope mini album. That was great. So I have been checking out other vids. You are an amazing teacher. I watch lots of how to's on KZfaq by lots of generous and wonderful teachers, but you teach and explain in a way that simple, clear and concise. Thank your generosity and sharing and imparting your knowledge and your love of crafting with us. Have a blessed day!! 💕

Thank you so much this will help me so much in my card making I’m so glad that somebody that you done this for people like me I am 52 and never learned how thank you so much

Thank you so much for this video, Maymay! It's very helpful for us that have learning disabilities in Math or have forgotten what we were taught in school because we just don't use it on a daily basis. WAR EAGLE from a fellow Alabamian now living in WA State.

Thankyou for this! I’m Australian and we use metric here. Most tutorials I watch are in inches, so it’s good too have a better understanding of imperial ☺️ x

Absolutely perfect teaching of ruler measurements!! Thank You ❤️

Awesome video Maymay! I call myself measure-mentally changed because I'm hopeless at measuring,this is just great thank you!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain it. Also because i have to start using inches and not centimeters. By the way the english measurement is also called the imperial measurement , its originally from England. It was the way they measure in the past. For example a " foot " long is literally the measure of the foot of the king ( I forgot wich one, but it was the measure of his foot. The imperial name is not commonly used because the colonys became independent, so now it is used by the name from wich it is originally coming from England ---> English measurement . Once again thank you soooooo much.

Omgoodness, I finally understand! Maymay, you’re a wonderful teacher! It would be nice if more teachers broke it down and explained it just like you did. I must have a learning disability because throughout my schooling, I’ve struggled with measurements, decimals, and fractions. It’s so simple now, I get it! THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES.

I am so glad u did this video and showed the cutting board and how it measures. Thank you so much!!

You are the best teacher EVER! Great video! Hugs! Becca

Thank you for this clear explanation. I'm Dutch so I think in the metric system and I kinda figured out the 'Inch system', but this makes it really easy to understand.

Thank you for this tutorial, it's a great help to me! You are an amazing teacher, easy to understand! Love to hear you talk!

Thank you so much Amy! My adult sons were taught some in school, but thanks to my hubby they know it well. I'm not sure why I have a hard time getting the concept, maybe lack of confidence but thanks to your template and enough repetition, I should understand it by the time I turn 47 in December lol.-Kris

Thank you May May - I have been so confused with all the measurements, but now you have given me something that I can finally understand. Awesome.. Thanks again.

Thank you so mo much for this tutorial. I have been having trouble with measurements in the padt. You have explained it well and now understand everything. Much appreciated.

Thank you so much. I often have trouble measuring cards, this will help me a great deal. TFS

You are a wonderful teacher, thank you so much for showing this and also for making a pdf for us.

Oh boy did I need this! Math was never my favorite subject, and I have struggled with my measurements in my paper crafting. Hats off to you, and thank you very much for breaking this down so that it really seems easy. I just saw Vince make his 1st card. Now I'm ready, but I'm still shaking. I'm going to make a card.

What a detailed tutorial you have done on this subject. You have gone to a lot of work to put this together in a very concise way for your viewers to understand. Bravo! I have 2 paper cutters and unfortunately the markings that are most used across the top of these cutters has literally worn off. Its so frustrating but I do manage. Thanks for a great tutorial ! Way to go !

I found your video of understanding the ruler measurements in constructing cards, Thank you so much. I have been struggling math has never been my strong suite. I was able to print out your pdf. This has helped me a lot. Thanks

This tutorial is so AWESOME!! Thank you so much!! You don't know how embarrassing it is to not know how to measure or use a ruler. I don't know if I was sick that day in school or what, but I completely missed out! LOL! Thank you also for not sounding condescending. I really wanted to get into card making, but matting the layers? Forget about it. You are an amazing teacher and made so much sense. Thanks also for the PDF. You've done a great service for people like me :-)

Hi, Incredible tutorial, thank you ! I have floundered with this measuring stuff since taking up card making and bookbinding but you've done an excellent job tutoring us. Thank you so much ! Best of luck to you with everything. Cheers ! Janis

Many thanks! Miss Maymay, where were you when I was in grammar school, high school, and college?? I finally understand how to use a ruler and I am not "challenged" by the math. Excellent video. I appreciate your thoroughness. Thank you for the pdf. I will be watching more of your videos and finally learning what I missed 50 years ago!
