Leatherworkers drafting custom patterns
Worth noticing
Each printed sheet carries a 50 mm calibration line; exports are described as millimetre SVG and layered R12 DXF.

Field notes

The described workflow separates the finished line from the cut line: seam allowance is added outside the finished line, while stitch setback is measured from it. Costing can use a shared workshop formula or a separate formula for an individual pattern. The page also describes tiled printing with alignment marks and exports organized by operation, but the extracted homepage does not show the editor itself.
