distance from seam to border
since you can’t sew right at the edge of the pattern you need some more material to sew on, those 0.7cm-4cm are your seam allowance
deutsch: Nahtzugabe (von der Nahtlinie bis zur Nähgutkante)
español: margen de la costura
francaise: relarge de la couture (jusqu’au bord)
italiano: aggiunta della cucitura (dall’impuntura fino al bordo)
