Pick one, adjust the size, and your pattern is done. **Automatic Seam Allowance** Treats the shape's outline as the cutting line and draws a dash-dot stitching line inside it at the width you choose (mm). Works with closed shapes such as rectangles, circles and polygons, and is included when you print or export to PDF. **8 Drawing Tools** Draw anything from simple pieces to complex parts. - Rectangle and triangle - Circle and ellipse: adjust width and height independently - Polygon: regular polygons from 3 to 36 sides - Line and curve (Bezier): smooth curves, exactly how you want them - Text: label pieces with names or cutting counts like "×2" **Edit Freely** - Drag to move, pull the handles to resize - Turn on "Keep proportions" to resize without distorting the shape - Set the angle (0–360°), line color and line style - Undo and redo your edits - Pinch with two fingers to zoom, drag with two fingers to move around - Duplicate, flip horizontally or vertically — symmetrical pieces made easy **Dimension Lines** Shows the length of every edge (in mm) right on the canvas, so you can check your measurements as you draft and avoid sizing mistakes. **Print at True Size & Export PDF** 10 paper sizes — A1–A5 and B1–B5 (JIS) — in portrait or landscape. Export any pattern as a true-size PDF. - AirPrint: print wirelessly to your printer at home - Share PDF: send it via AirDrop, email, cloud storage and more **Save Multiple Patterns** Save as many patterns as you like, and rename or delete them easily.
