Changing sewing direction

Step 1

Splitting patterns

When closed regions are created using [Shapes] tools, a uniform sewing

direction, indicated by a sewing direction line (red arrow or red curve line),

is applied to the entire region. The direction line can be edited by moving

the end points, or new sewing direction lines can be added.

The direction line can also be changed into a curve, whose shape can be

arranged by dragging points on it.

Try various sewing directions and curve shapes to find the optimum setting

for the pattern shape.
