Comments
Hi, is there a way to measure curved lines with the point of measure tool?
Can you add individual POMs together?
Is there a way we can measure between patterns, for example like a hidden dart from a yoke seam and separate panel seam?
How do you measure around darts, like if there's a waist dart in my bodice, I dont want it to be included when measuring the waist seam, but if I try to stop and start the POM it still includes it.
