Stitch And Sew applied to the selected edges.
To use the Stitch And Sew tool, in point or edge mode select the edges that you want to join. Click and
drag from the rst edge to the other edge. While you drag, a yellow line will appear that connects the
two edges. Release the mouse button to apply the change.
If you hold down the Shift key at the same time, an n-gon will be created between the edges.
If you hold down the Ctrl key at the same time, the edges will be joined at the position halfway
between their point pairs.

Stich And Sew is especially useful for creating clothing, hence its name. With Stich And Sew, you can

Polygon mode
The tool works differently in polygon mode. This mode only makes sense if a polygon strip is selected
that is a single polygon wide.
