I’m looking for advice on pattern making software. I have some experience in making my own patterns so I guess what I’m looking for is one that creates good basic patterns that are custom fitted to use as a starting point. Another issue is the joining together of all the sheets of paper that comes out of a home printer. Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks, Eileen

Eileen, I recently purchased Wild Ginger Pattern Master Boutique. I also have some experience in drafting patterns. I have mixed emotions about this software.
Ultimately, I do think I will like it, but right now, I have some issues with it. You do have to work at getting the slopers to fit and there is a learning curve. I have a pile of failed slopers and patterns building in a corner of my sewing room. I know I am extremely hard to fit and probably extremely picky. I can make anything, just not anything to fit me.
If you are interested in this program, go to http://www.wildginger.com/ check out the program and join the forums to ask questions and see what others are saying. That should help you make up your mind about this particular program.
Thanks for your reply, I'll check it out.
Eileen
