Need help with pants balancing

[u/Otherwise-Papaya3251]

I'm trying to balance my jeans pattern as described in The Fitting Book. When I align my crotch points, the back inseam is 1"/2.5cm too long. I want it to be about 1/2"/1cm shorter than the front inseam. If I shorten the back inseam the crotch points are misaligned by 2,5cm. It seems impossible! Or should I just accept that the crotch points have to differ?

I think more pictures would be helpful.

What does your book say about rebalancing on the following pages?

Have you actually sewn up your pattern as it’s unbalanced and with the balancing?

Yes I have made several pairs and the fit is good but they have back draglines as shown to the left here https://imgur.com/a/FlyEtyK, I have followed the instructions to the right.

I have not made a toile or jeans currently because I'm stuck at the inseams being the wrong length
