Can I create a linear pattern using sketched bends?

Hi I am currently developing a strip for a progressive die and I want to begin folding each of the folds station by station. I have the overall sketch with all the necessary bend lines and was hoping to do a sketch bend at the bend line and then pattern it through to the rest of the part. Is this not possible? I tried doing it to the first bend and ran into an error.

"Unable to pattern the selected feature SketchBend1"

Thanks!
