We are Beta testing PWstudio3. It is Vista and Windows 7 compatible, and it's coming very soon! We have simplified, modified and enhanced commands and slopers. We updated and illustrated help and the User's Guide. Check back soon for the relesase date!

Now there is an organization for all of us with pattern design obsession....thanks to the efforts of Sandy Ericson! The Center for Pattern Design helps to preserve the art of pattern cutting by recognizing those who have excelled in the past and are the best in the field now. It enables us to preserve and extend pattern design knowledge into future generations and makes it possible for new leaders to be educated and have access to a higher level of skill.
