Seam Allowance

Specify the seam allowance. This is applied when drawing on fabric, then cutting it, for example, when making quilt pieces. For details, see “Cutting Around Drawings” on page 44.

Memo

•When multiple patterns are cut at the same time, the setting specified in this screen is applied to all patterns.

•If cutting line data saved with a different seam allowance is imported and used, the setting specified in this screen will have priority over the saved setting.

Pattern Interval

Specify the spacing between patterns as well as white space around the edges of cutting area when patterns in the pattern layout screen are automatically arranged. The larger the number setting, the further spacing between patterns. For details on the auto layout function, see “Auto Layout Functions” on page 38.

Note

•Set the number to “3” or higher when lightweight fabric is attached to the mat with a high tack adhesive fabric support sheet.
