About

Whether designing for the fashionista, suiting the business person, outfitting the child at play, or costuming for stage or screen - streamline your pattern design experience with PWstudio V4! PWstudio V4 is affordable apparel design software that’s flexible, intuitive and easy to use. Since it was developed by a garment designer, it is intuitive to your needs. You can even design on your laptop. Add a wide carriage printer and/or a roll-up digitizer and you have a complete pattern design studio in a very small space. From the style sketch, to pattern design, to grading and more. Design with any size sloper, customize client grade rules, create technical drawings for garment construction, and diagram sample production. PWstudio V4 is perfect for the professional garment designer or costumer, the independent pattern company, the sewn product entrepreneur, or apparel design educator and student.

About

PatternMaker is the primary program and is used to create patterns. Once patterns are created they can be exported into digital files that can be shared like any file on the Internet. There are different levels — versions — of PatternMaker. MacroGen is the program that creates the exported files. The exported files are called macros. The macros have the ability to accept different measurements so the pattern can be adjusted to fit. Macros are executed by PatternMaker. (Many computer programs have macros that exist in a digital, sharable format. For example, Microsoft Word and Excel have the ability to export macros for sharing.) So, to run a macro you need the PatternMaker program. Collection Creator combines many different patterns that are in macro form into a collection. A collection might be a group of summer dresses.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • PatternMaker is a great CAD software. It has several levels that allows you to opt in at your budget and build up as you go. I started with professional studio and now use the grading studio. I also design garment patterns with Macrogen by PatternMaker. Its versatile and flexible for you. You can design from the scratch or work from predesigned templates.

Cons

  • I would like a few more features added like an auto save. Sometimes I lose my work.
