Add Notch

Use the Notch tool to add a notch to a piece’s contour . This tool provides an easy way to add or edit notches.

• A notch is a marking point positioned on the boundary of a piece and is used to accurately align one piece to another piece indicating how pieces are sewn together. There are three parameters that define a notch location on the piece’s boundary and the size of the notch. These parameters are depth, width, and angle. The Notch’s parameters are defined and can be changed in the Notch Properties.

• Notches are also used to define stripe adjust points for stripe matching on the Marker.
