Pattern alteration

Pattern alteration adapts an existing pattern to different measurements or to a desired fit, without drafting it again from scratch.

In the file

Digitally each alteration can be saved as its own version. The original stays intact, so the way back is always open, which on paper means cutting and taping you cannot undo.
