Seamallowance problem

[1989moni1989]

Hi.

I have attached an image. Is it possible to remove that piece of the seam allowance over point B5? The fabric should be folded on line b12-b5, so I want the seam allowance to be shaped horizontally. Do you know what I mean?

Thank you. Monika

Ok, I fixed the problem. It only appears if I make 0,7cm seam allowance or smaller. If I do 0,71 or more, it works

You can see it on my second piece

It can also help to change the seamallowance angle at node B5: (by length is the default)

That’s odd. The seam allowance width shouldn’t matter… like Pneumarian mentioned changing the angle is what should change the how the allowance is drawn.

Seams like a bug. Pun intended.

I’d be interested in seeing your val (and vit) file(s) if you wouldn’t mind posting them so I could take a look at it, and I’ll look at the code well to see what’s up with the width making a difference.

I just got an idea… it’s always hard to remember what each angle option does. The dialog could use a small diagram of how each option looks.

I concur. This sounds like a good idea!
