crossBox

The crossbox macro is used to mark a feature on a sewing pattern to attach and reinforce an attachment between two pieces. This is regularly done by sewing along the outside of the pieces that needs to be joined, and then sewing along the diagonals too.

It is provided by plugin-annotations, which is part of core-plugins (so it is available by default).

Signature
