Joost De Cock b34a2ee2ed feat: Flat import of markdown repo
This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content
from our markdown module.

We've imported this without history because the repo contains our
blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi.

Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo
to import the full history.

Instead, please refer to the history of the (archived) markdown repo
at: https://github.com/freesewing/markdown

A guide to go over a few things you should know when you start working with our core library
Understand that FreeSewing provides parametric pattern design
Understand that FreeSewing uses SVG
Understand the coordinate system
Learn that we use millimeter internally
Learn about Bézier curves

Here's a few things that, once you get them, will make it easier to understand what FreeSewing is doing, and how it's doing it.

We'll cover the following topics:

There's no need to know everything

FreeSewing sits at the intersection of the world of makers and developers. If your background is in development, you will need no explaining what SVG is, but might not know much about designing sewing patterns. If on the other hand your background is in sewing or pattern design, you might wonder what the heck Node JS is and why you should care.

Few people straddle both worlds, so as you start using FreeSewing, chances are you'll learn a few new things along the way.
