=== Labeling the Reference square ===
 
[[Image:Shirt_Label_1.png|right|top|thumb|150x150px]]So, let us label our reference square first. You are in Details-Mode. When you ''right-click'' on the detail and select ''options'', the window to the right will appear. You can check if you have all nodes you need in the path. On the left side are the tabs for different things like path, pins, grain-lines and so on. You choose ''“Labels”.''
 
 
[[Image:Shirt_Label_2.png|left|thumb|200x200px]]We first give the detail a name. Generally it is a good idea to give a name to a detail very early; best as soon as you've made the detail. Else you might become lost if you have a pattern with a lot of details and want to add something to a specific detail later on.
 
I called the reference square “Reference” and filled that in in ''“Name of Detail”''. In ''Annotation'' I filled in “10 cm per side”; you will see the use in an Instant. ''Quantity'' is on 1 per default; we don't need it here and just leave it as it is. The other fields we don't need right now as well.

Right now our Label is empty, actually it doesn't even show. So, first we tell Seamly2D / Valentina what to show. Click the button ''“Edit Template”. ''In the window showing up you can add the things that you want to see on the label; add them with the green plus-sign. The window won't change too much, but the change is essential – you get the ''“insert”-''button. This button leads you to various placeholders for things you might want to add to the label, like the name of the pattern, the name of the detail, material used and so on. For now we use ''“piece annotation”''<nowiki>; this will fill in the “10 cm per side” we put into the field </nowiki>''“Annotation”'' before.
 
The nice thing on a program is, that there are a lot of things we only need to do once. We can save our template for future use with the little floppy-symbol in the right upper edge. As my labels on every pattern look pretty much the same, this comes in really handy.
