How to align "amorphous" sketches?

Hello, 

 

Newbie here.   I created a sketch using Fit Point Spline, pictured below:

Then, I created a second sketch of this same form, but slightly larger, using copy/paste + sketch scale.  Then I aligned them visually ("eyeballed it").  

 

Is there a tool-based way to do this alignment so I don't have to rely on my eye?   I tried the Align tool but it appears to only work sketches where the center is well-defined.

Thanks.

Your splines have way too many fit-points.

You can offset a spline in the sketch, but I usually don't recommend that.

You can also simply extrude a surface form the original spline and offset the surface.

Offsetting the extruded surface worked perfectly, thanks!
