Mr. PatYardage calculator
I was using the yardage calculator and decided that I would like to see a change or two made next time one of the programmers doesn't have enough to do. When pattern pieces like a sleeve with a cuff or a front with a yoke are imported the associated piece, ie the yoke or cuff is locked to the bigger piece it is sewn to with a large amount of space between them. I would like to see each individual piece imported and not locked to another piece or I would like to be able to disconect them in the layout tool itself. This would provide me with a much more acurate evaluation of how much fabric I really need. I would also like to see the importation of facing pieces as well, after all they are part of the garment.
Bye,
Pat

judithI don't use the yardage calculator, because all the pattern pieces don't show up. It's easier to just lay the paper pattern on my cutting board - but if these changes were made, I'd probably use the calculator, so count me as me four.
