Friends, as our early notice specified, the Custom-fit Software SIG of Phila. ASG will hold its regular meeting on Tuesday, October 13. We'll meet in St. Davids from about 10:30 a.m. until about 3:30 p.m.

We have lots of new software versions and tools to talk about and experiment with. Marj now has in-house a TV that will take input from laptop computers so we can all watch at the same time. Either this month or at the November 10 meeting, we'll play with the software on the big screen so everyone can watch at the same time. (Depends on when Marj learns the techie ropes; if you have pattern-drafting software on a laptop, please bring it and we'll give it a go!) Have you pieces of clothing in-process? Bring them along and we'll help with fitting. Are your slopers good, or do you need a tweak and pin-fit?

As usual, we'll head for the quiche and spanakopita at Minella's Diner for lunch. If you need driving directions, email Marj; the SEPTA R5 train comes 1.5 blocks away.

Whether you own and use pattern-drafting software, lurk around the on-line sites, or simply wonder if this marriage of home computers and pattern-drafting knowhow can solve fitting challenges for you or for those far-away for whom you sew, please plan to join us on Tuesday, October 13.
