Fold line

German:
Stoffbruch

The fold line is the edge along which the fabric is folded. A piece cut on the fold is only drawn as one half and comes out symmetrical when cut.

In the file

A piece on the fold is only half a piece in the file as well. PatternScan Pro does not unfold it. Anyone who needs the full shape mirrors it in the vector program or in pattern CAD.
