I first signed up with Dress shop and used it successfully for many years. Then a new program was introduced and I bought many of the pattern groups. I see I can no longer get there. Could some one take me under their wing and or direct me as to how I find everything again. Are there new measuriong guide lines. Sorry for the confusion

Was the new program My Pattern Designer? That company no longer exists, although the software may still work on your computer. If you bought things through MPD, they are not transferrable to DS, as far as I know. There were two distinct companies, related but separate.

Yes, that is correct. MPD and Dress Shop are now separate companies.
