After Adding Node The Curve Still Is Not Perceived As Curve

I added a node onto the Curve created with Curve Interactive Tool.

Then traced It.

However still It is not perceived as curve as you see.

Why? How can I fixed It?

Because you still have not selected the curve as a node of your tracing path. Like any node, you must click on it to select it.

Personally, this pattern is simple enough that I would delete the pattern piece & re-trace it while remembering to click on every node, points & curves, which needs included in the path. However, its simplicity also means this is a good time to practice inserting missed nodes, as Douglas presented in the Notches thread.

You have to click ON the curve as you add nodes to include the curve to the path. You have only added points… and when the app draws the pattern piece it connects each node point with a straight line… unless a curve is included in the path.

Here I added the curve segments:

Note the control points are totally incorrect at both ends.

My path looks exactly like yours.

However my piece is mess.

???

While tracing do I do something wrong? How to trace properly?

How can we fix It Now?

No. since you have not moved the 1st pattern piece - you have 2 pattern pieces one on top of the other.

Click on one with the left mouse button and hold down while dragging it:
