Folding is gentle stirring. You use a rubber scraper to fold the mixture in half one way, then the other way.
As for one sixty-fourth of a teaspoon, if you're using that little, why bother? There's no way to actually measure that small amount. It's probably the smallest amount of dry ingredient you can hold between your thumb and finger. A very small pinch. If the recipe calls for a drop, you can use a real dropper and squeeze it once.

You just want to add it to the mixture by simply folding it into that mixture enough just to coat, like adding nuts to the recipe, or sometimes cool whip foods that really don't need to be beat to absorbe into the recipe. Hope all that made sense to ya..
