Use the Set Basic Seam command to add a simple seam on all the selected pieces. First, a Basic seam is added to all the pieces. Next, if required, each piece is given the correct seam allowance and seam type on special corners.
Note that you can enter a negative value. This is usually used when a style was digitized on the Cut line.
