1. A method of providing a guide for combining pattern pieces, comprising:
receiving selection of a first point in a first pattern piece, wherein the first pattern piece is two-dimensional;
receiving selection of a second point in a second pattern piece to be combined with the first pattern piece, wherein the second pattern piece is two-dimensional;
in response to receiving the selection of the second point, generating a virtual pattern piece that is an undeformed version of the first pattern piece, wherein the virtual pattern piece is two-dimensional;
automatically identifying a point in the virtual pattern piece corresponding to the first point in the first pattern piece as a third point;
displaying the virtual pattern piece rotated, translationally moved or both rotated and translationally moved to have the third point in the virtual pattern piece matched to the second point in the second pattern piece so that an outer line of the virtual pattern piece and an outer line of the second pattern piece meet at the third point and the second point, wherein the third point of the virtual pattern is located at a position corresponding to the first point in the first pattern piece; and
providing a guide for combining the first pattern piece and the second pattern piece by moving the virtual pattern piece such that an outer line of the second pattern piece meets an outer line of the virtual pattern piece.
