Practice Fold the traditional crane over and over, and eventually petal folding will be easy as pie.

I felt the same way, but folding a few dozen cranes helps. I still find petal folds where there isn't a prep fold to guide it difficult. In either case, once I got over my reluctance to use a tool to poke into the corner for an assist, it was a lot easier.

Thank you I am doing well with my petal folding now.
