Well folks, I finally found a site that told me how much the program cost.............well let's just put it this way..........I WON"T be getting that one hahaha ($1,200) yipes! I had no idea it would be that much. I think this program is designed for people who are in business. Too pricey for my budget. After checking into some more sites I did find that there are other programs that are nowhere near that expensive, although still between $200-$300. The concept is still exciting to me. I'm wondering if I could do something similar using something like Paint-Shop Pro?

I agree with Hilary. A new program should be easy to use and have an assortment of colored mats in changeable colors and patterns. Often times it is REALLY hard to find mat colors that match your photos. Fonts should be of different styles as there are already stickers available for the simple styles. I also would go for the hard to find images for die cuts, such as race cars, bikes-(I don't know why this is such an under produced item, every child I know has had at least one bike, especially BMX bikes. My son had well over 15.) motorcycles, tv's, computers-lots of christmas gifts are these items, Cds, fake money, birds, large flowers with good graphics, etc. These are just a few of the items I have found hard to come by. As for cutting out the shapes, they have to be big enough that they are not a royal pain to cut out and small enough not to dwarf the pages. Heritage items are another biggy. If you did a section devoted to black and white die cuts ( or the darker muted colors like maroon, dark green, or gold and silver) with items from every decade, starting at the 1900's to present for example: the old gas pumps, ice cream palors, old cars, the different wars American's have fought (this would be a big seller since MANY of the older photo shots were of men in uniforms,) a rosy the riveter page, memorial tribute pages etc... These items are almost impossible to find, and yet millions of photos were taken during these times and scrapbook makers are now having a hard time finding die cuts, pages or stickers that fit those eras and photos. I too would be willing to test drive any new software or be a guinea pig for ideas. Penny

There are a number of companies that offer software like this. Wild Ginger seems to be the brand that people like the best, the Pattern Master Boutique v3 product in particular (sometimes referred to as PMB or PMB3). Wild Ginger is known to have excellent customer service. I'm also interested in buying pattern software and this is the product I'm considering. I am also interested in other sewist's experiences with pattern making software, all brands. If you go to the Pattern Review website, (link after this paragraph) you can read a number of reviews of specific sewing experiences with this software (you may have to register with the site to read all the reviews). http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/search.pl?CompanyID=65&search=Search Getting the measurements right is important, but once you have those and you've tested them in a sample muslin, it seems to be fairly easy to select a pattern and print it out. You do have to glue the printer sheets together. However, I've spent several evenings recently trying to alter a store-bought pattern, making multiple test garments, and I'm still not satisfied with my results. I would give up the use of so much time and my frustration and trade that for gluing paper together any day. I believe there are several Yahoo groups devoted to sewing pattern software, and at least one for this product in particular. CMC Here is a link that might be useful: Wild Ginger
