Add Cut Markers Tool

What it Does​

Adds small scissor symbols along a line or curve to show where to cut. Use this for a cut that is inside the pattern piece, such as a pocket opening or a slit.

Each scissor is its own small marker. The scissors for one line are kept together in a group. A short line gets two scissors in the middle.

To learn more about cut markers, see Pattern Markings & Annotations in the Academy.

  2. Select the line or curve to mark, then select Continue. The scissors are added along it
  3. Move the Scissor Spacing slider to change the distance between the scissors
