True darts As you know, when you have cut out your pattern and begin to sew, the edges of the darts are out of line if you only use the base line to create the dart. Allowances need to be made for the shift of the seam before cutting the fabric. This tool is meant to help you with that. Select the line where you'd like to place a dart - A9 to A13. Then select the points of the dart - A17, A16 & A18. New points A19 & A20 are created and you may now draw your line from A9 to A19 to A16 to A20 and to A13 to get the perfectly fitted dart.
