Does My Sloper support both knit and woven garments?
Absolutely, yes! Other pattern-making software out there sells separate knit and woven components, but My Sloper does not limit you to only one type of fabric. The idea behind designing for knitwear is that the sloper is usually one or two sizes smaller because the design is dependent on the elasticity of the knit fabric to expand and cover the wearer. Since we design My Sloper for modesty, we do not encourage the use of elastic knit fabric that will cling to the wearer and definitely do not encourage the user to design one or two sizes smaller for modesty sake.
What size range does My Sloper support?
While other pattern-making kits and software sell separate adult and children’s components, My Sloper supports all sizes from babies to women without any upper size limit. It all depends on the amount of virtual memory you have on your computer. See this article for more information. Although many of the slopers are designed for women and girls, My Sloper can be used to design for menswear using the basic blouse sloper for men’s basic shirt. My Sloper 1.8 will have support for jackets and coats, and it can be used to design men’s jackets and coats as well.
Does My Sloper Demo support printing of patterns?
No, the Demo version supports all the features accept printing. You can view our video tutorials on how to print a PDF pattern however. Invest in a product key to enable printing on your Demo version.
