Placing the male or female segmenting seam is as easy as asking directions.  Men, I know this can be hard to do, but if you’re at a loss, then man up and ask!  In this case it’s not that hard to remember for next time.  It’s all about the direction of the segmenting line you pull that dictates placement of the male and female segmenting seam allowance.  Take a look at the 4 examples below to better understand this process.

(1) Segment line is drawn from the bottom of the screen to the top.  The male segment seam is placed on the left blank, and the female segment seam is placed on the right.
