May I suggest that you download a demo of one of the Wild Ginger
programs? It will do everything except print, including allow you to
input your own measurements, so you can see exactly how the programs
work. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, as they each include a
powerful CAD program, so you can further alter/change/embellish patterns
that are already in the programs. www.wildginger.com
Until I started using these programs I was having fits trying to get a
decent fit (pun intended). They have changed my sewing life, and revived
it, really. Middle age is not for sissies, you know! Darn spread. :(
Full disclosure: I am a certifed educator and reseller for Wild Ginger,
but am not selling them from my website, only at sewing shows. But I am
also a longtime user and HUGE fan of their products--which is how I
became an educator and reseller! They have a lot of other fans, too.

Oh, yes, it is. Do you have a Mac? They will run under a Windows
emulator on Macs, but I think you have to have the G5 or 6, is it? The
programmer has no intentions of learning to write the code for Macs,
despite many requests.

Yep, Macs here. The new Intel Macs can run Windows natively--- no
emulator. The technology, now available in Beta, is currently called
Bootcamp and allows users to boot their (Intel) Macs in either the Mac
(Unix) OS X or in Windows XP. This is great news for people who want to
use niche market software, like Wild Ginger & other pattern makers,
embroidery digitizing, astronomy, and other applications, but who don't
care to give up their platform choice. The big downside is that Macs
will be susceptible to viruses and other malware whilst running
Windows--- an almost nonexistent problem on the Mac platform. Here is
the info on it for those interested.:

Most of the viruses, etc., are designed to attack through MSIE and
Outlook, so if you use a different browser and email, plus a good
firewall and anti-virus program, you should have no trouble. I use
Firefox for my browser, AVG for anti-virus, and Zone Alarm for a
firewall, and *knock wood* so far, so good. All three are free, which
doesn't hurt at all.
