add margin around simulator (#46)

This adds a 10px margin around the design in the simulator view (both the Simulate plugin and the Params preview window). This is useful because otherwise stitches at the edges weren't very visible. Also, because we're using anti-aliased lines, parts of the drawing did actually extend beyond the canvas previously.

All in all, with the margin it just feels more comfortable.
