Hmmm… You just gave me an brilliant idea. I’ve always had in the back of my mind of adding a “text” tool to place text on pattern pieces. Basically extending the current labels to any number of labels. BUT… think in terms points, where we can define the point as a notch, and when doing so the app draws the circle for the point, and as a child of the point the graphics items for the notch. Well what if we extemd that idea, where we could also show a text graphic at the point? 
There could be all kinds of uses… like matching points A-A, and B-B for different parts, … or “lengthen here” along an internal line. “Gather here”… “Cut here”. etc. So basically any point could be the “anchor point” for text - just like you can make any point the anchor for a notch. And extending it further - Symbols! It would be much easier to do, rather than what I had in mind before, where text & symbols would be based on the way the grainline & labels work - which has all the overhead of custom QGraphicItems. This way I’d just be adding the text or symbols to the paitnter path of a point node just like the notches do.
