PDS:Seam Type

Below are all the seam types that can be applied to any piece with seam defined. Note that the images show the seam, and how the seam 'folds' over to the Sew line.

Start/ End

Start/ End 1

1. 90 degrees to the next segment

Start/ End 2

2. Prolongation of the previous segment

Start/ End 3

3. Mirror to the previous segment

4.

Start/ End 4

5. Point's bisector

Start/ End 5

90° to Point's bisector - V11

Corner

Corner 1

6. Extrapolation of the next and previous segment's seam

Corner 2

7. 90 degrees of the previous and next segment

Corner 3

8. 90 degrees to the next segment

Corner 4

9. 90 degrees to the previous segment

Corner 5

10. Mirror the previous segment's seam

11.

Corner 6

12. Mirror the next segment's seam

13. When folding the previous segment's seam over the previous segment, it will fit the next segment (marked in green)

Corner 7

14. Tangent to the point

15. Mitered width

Corner 8

16. Extrapolation of the next and previous segments

Corner 9

17. Even if the seam width of the segments is different, the external cut length to the point is equal (when mitered value is 0)

18. When Mitered width is added (support seam allowance)...

19. folding the seam of the next and previous segments will have an equal line of the bisector

20. Meaning equal internal seam value (mitered width), not external cut length.

Corner A

21.

22.

23.

24.

Corner B

25.

26.

27.

28.

Corner C

29. Point's bisector

Corner D

30. The miter width is always zero with a 90 degree seam corner.V11

31. The corner angle is 90 degree between the seam corner and the corner angle.
