Hi Gianna :) The waist seam is probably the most difficult to match detail across due to some disparities in the horizontal distribution of polygons between the torso and lower body. Getting a good match can be tricky. If you're using one of the alternate template sets, you can use the small grid lines to help you. One way you can use them is to sample colors where each grid line hits the waist seam. You'll want that same color where that same grid line meets the other side of the seam. Doing that can be tedious, but since the grid lines are spaced just a couple of pixels apart you can get an excellent match that way. You can also use the grid lines to match folds, seams, patterns, or other details that cross the seam. If a fold hits the waist seam at the second grid line from the left inside the fourt polygon from the right, then it also needs to hit the other side of the seam at the second grid line from the left inside the fourth polygon from the right. Chances are that you already have some areas along the seam that match fairly well and some that don't. Find the areas that don't, sample the color on one side of the seam, find the same spot on the grid on the other side of the seam, and place that color. Repeat that for all your trouble spots.
