A pattern is a collection of pieces, prepared individually. Drawing a pattern starts from a reference point. Construction lines are defined from there, until sewing lines are defined.▼
Most lines are defined by one or more points, and occasionally angles.

▲Drawing a pattern starts from a reference point. Construction lines are defined from there, until sewing lines are defined.
▲Most lines are defined by one or more points, and occasionally angles. These are measured anti-clockwise from 0 degrees = horizontal to the right.
It is generally easiest to sketch in the line approximately first, and then refine it using the parameters box displayed by double-clicking on the appropriate element.
Notches, text, grain and other items are added after you have traced the outline of the pattern with the Workpiece tool.
