Add a 5/8inch perimeter on imported images

Post by lindseables » Thu Apr 02, 2015 8:09 am

I am a fashion designer using Qcad to add a 5/8th inch seam allowances around a pattern for clothing. How do do this?? I need to add a 5/8ths inch line around the pieces of a garment so I can cut them properly and have room to sew the pieces of cloth together.
I've attempted this several times and have no clue how to do it. I have drawn dots, but I'm not sure if they are the correct distance. I would greatly appreciate some guidance.


Thanks so much,
Lindsey

Could you attach an example drawing file? The exact steps depend a bit on the present situation. Thanks.
