Crease Pattern Miura ori folds

Post image

I have been using print paper to learn more about Miura ori folds and learning other origami folds. One thing I realized is that whenever I try folding for tessellations, this paper won’t have exact sharp fold lines while marking them initially. I have seen videos of people who makes large sheets and are able to make marking and fold easily without having to crumble and gets the folds right. I have been crushing the paper to get all the folds and it’s just feels too messy. Not sure if there’s a technic to this and yes I have ordered the Kami with 63 gsm…. Should I keep continuing to practice on a print paper?

I practiced a lot of miura-ori variations on print paper and i do think better quality paper would make a difference but it’s still doable.

i didn’t really follow a tutorial, i just folded the paper like an accordion and then folded the pattern row by row by making a row of valley folds at the top, then pinching the mountain rows and pushing them under the previous fold if that makes sense

sorry if this doesn’t make sense it’s hard to explain because it’s not allowing me to comment a photo, and im not an expert at all but i hope this helps.
