Instead of pattern along path why not call it Bend Object or Object along Path if we want to be verbose. It is less confusing and genric enough to encapulate groups, shapes, patterns, etc..
Bend Path and Bend Object seem to be good names for the effects to me.

Path along path is confusing for me aswell :( sorry. The use of the current pattern along path is to put multiple paths as if they are a pattern along the path onto which the effect is applied. Although it is a matter of taste also; whatever one finds easiest to do, but it has some implications. Groups will never be bend around corners with pattern along path for example. Because then we need group parameters. Pattern along path bends a *parameter* along the original path. 'bend path' bends the original path along a parameter. Giving a group as 'original path' is not a big problem (just repeat it for each path in the group), giving a group as parameter is.
OK, let it be pattern, though it's really just another way of looking at it, and I'm not sure which will be the best for user...
Another suggestion: "curve stitching" should really be "subpath stitching", and why can't I edit the path that connects subpath - not implemented yet?
Will change the name. Path parameter editing is independent of effects, so it is implemented :) The problem is that it is not possible (yet?) to on-canvas edit the default setting. You have to paste a path onto it first.
OK, then it needs to be editable at once, just as the bend path is editable at once without pasting.
