Line 54:
''Width'' defines the default width for seam allowances in this pattern piece. There is also a universal option for that in the Preferences. If you're using Inches, 0.625=(5/8) without any further input your seam allowance would be 5/8" all the way around. However, there's a decent chance that you'll make a pattern that gets placed on a fold, in which case you have to mess with Nodes.
In a cruel twist of fate, "Nodes" in this situation applies only to points. There is a drop-down menu labeled "Node:" to choose which point you want to affect the seam allowance in relation to. Remember that your pattern is traced in clockwise order. Next we come to two fields labeled "Before" & "After," pre-filled with "CurrentSeamAllowance" which means that the seam allowance on that side of the point will be the same as defined in Width above. You can change them to any ridiculous extreme you feel like, but 0 (zero/zed) for a foldline, or a suitable hemwidth for a hemline are probably the most common choices when "CurrentSeamAllowance" is not appropriate.
In the '''Custom''' section:
I have no idea if this even does anything. I appears completely null.
