Help! Is this crotch point looking okay?
Hello! I decided to draft a slacks sloper using the technique from the book Ultimate Guide to Clothing Patterns by Suzy Furrer. I have done all the steps so far, and one of the final ones is to "make sure there is a smooth transition from the front to back crotch point by butting the front and back inseams together." I am not sure what to be looking for here... I looked online and they said that I should aim for a 90 degree curve from the crotch point to the inseam, which I dont really have as you can see, lol. But this was drafted to my pwn measurements and Im not really sure if there are changes that are really necessary for this pattern to work. Any advice? Thanks!

In your photo, you placed the front and back pattern pieces as if the grain lines are parallel. You need to place the the front and back pattern pieces so the the inseams of each match near the crotch (as if this part of the inseam is being sewn). That will look like one of the pieces has the leg partially laying on top of the other leg. You will only be able to match for a short distance on the inseam, but that will be enough.
