What is the best pattern making software? I want to be able to design an article of clothing (shirts, pants, skirts, dresses, etc), print the pattern off and start sewing.
What would everybody recommend?

I have been watching to see if anyone has an answer for you. I don't think the software you are looking for exists, at least not to the home sewer, yet. I would love to have a program that takes the numbers I put in and lets me print a pattern and start sewing. Of course all will do that, you just can't be sure it will fit.
I have Wild Ginger. It is a great program, but requires a lot of work to get just the right fitting. There is a learning curve. I do now have several basic patterns that I can use, but it took a lot of muslins to get there.
You can download a trial version of Wild Ginger and see what it is like. The trial version will do everything except print and save.
My only connection with WG is as a customer.
