Seam Allowances

In VStitcher, you can set the seam allowance for an edge, and also the format for a seam corner.

1.) Select the desired edge(s) on your pattern

2.) In the right-hand context view, select the "Seam Allowance" button:

Select any corner point that connects your two edges, and choose the desired seam alignment type from the right-hand context view:
