Can you help me get a clearer understanding of the Pants Block patternmaking.  In chapter 6, the back dart, I am having trouble understanding the directions for "o to p" and "p to Q"

Hi

The line from O to Q is a straight line that has a 90 degree angle with the waist line and upper hip line. We draw this center line for the dart first and then from the top of it on the waistline we measure half of the dart intake on either side from O and then we draw the legs of the dart from these two points to Q.
