I was a formal LivingSoft customer. I gave up now. It's not easy to use. Plus you have to have printer that can print banner in order to use this software or else, you will have a lot of taping to do if you print the pattern on a single sheet.
In my opinion, it's a lot of work and I didn't enjoy it at all. The patterns don't always fit. Don't count on the software to solve your fitting problems because it won't. You have to know the fitting concepts pretty well in order to use this program, which I wasn't good at.
These days, I learn to fit the commerical paper patterns using my dress form and attend workshop locally as much as I could.
Get a trial version, if you could, for this software before you commit to buy it.
