* This chart compares features of My Pattern Designer Standard, and Pro. Use the same list of features to compare with any other source of patterns you may have.

Each version of My Pattern Designer (MPD) offers exactly the same catalog of patterns. Please take a moment to read the "Better Fit", "More Patterns", "More Options", and "Easier to Use" pages for an overview of the features included in MPD.

MPD Standard adds more settings, options, and sizing refinements. There are 11 major groupings of pattern options (see the list above under Designer Tools). Every tool dialog includes more control and refinements that you can use to alter, adjust, or fine-tune your pattern to your personal preferences. You also get more sizing options to fine tune the fit to those body areas that just do not work well with standard measurements.

MPD Pro adds even better sizing and fit options, providing the most refined and mature measurement system for producing custom patterns available in the world. Pro includes more ease settings, more adjustments, more pattern options, and more advanced pattern design tools as well. And, it's just as easy to use and just as fast to draft your patterns and get them printed.

MPD Pro is a pattern designer's dream tool. For all those that don't think they are a designer, MPD Pro can make you one. Just playing with the settings will create new, original patterns that are more exciting than anything you had imagined before you began. Or, take some fashion photo that you saw somewhere else and see if you can make it with MPD Pro. You'll be amazed at how much it can do and how quick and easy it is to get something totally original that you just love. And, since it is drafted to your measurements, using MPD's customized fit system, you'll always know that what you create is going to fit better than anything you'll ever find in a store.
