tip:

Notice the dashed line around the outside edges of the tem- plate. This is a 1/4” seam allowance, which you can use as a guide as you’re placing objects.

The dashed line will be printed so you can use it as a guide for folding and sewing the fabric. You can turn the seam allowance on or off by right-clicking (Windows) or CTRL-clicking (Macintosh) in the template and selecting Seam Allowance.
