I've enjoyed using it so far. It gives great detailing on patterns. > > **Cons**: The only con I've found is that is crashes alot. ----- ### "Happy with the overall experience but would love more features, shortcuts, & customization." — 4.0/5 > **Dexter** | *31 August 2017* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I enjoy the short learning curve and ease of use the most.I have taught others on how to use it and they quickly picked it up. The manual is also very informative, and the tool tips are a good touch. > > **Cons**: I would like it more if there were more ways to customize and set automatized features. It would also be great if the user can upload a photo and has it be seen through the "pattern window". > > The company I am currently with has been using this software for quite a while and I understand that it is a very important piece to our business. I am happy to see a new update is coming out and would love to see the what's new. ----- ### "PatternSmith" — 5.0/5 > **Jay** | *8 August 2019* | Textiles | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Works great, very intuitive. Incredible tech support. > > **Cons**: Can't think of anything. We have been using it since 1993 and all of the updates were great. > > runs our manufacturing ----- ### "Patternsmith" — 4.0/5 > **John** | *8 August 2019* | Textiles | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's basic functionality, ease of use, the fact we are not forced to pay for un-necessary upgrades when the software does everything we need it to. We enjoyed being part of the bug reporting users back when it was released, and was impressed with the speed of bug fixing. As sail and cover makers, the basic 2D design capabilities have served our needs for nearly 20 years, and continue to do so. > > **Cons**: The fact that every time we bought a new computer, we had to ask for a .tlf code. (Not a big hassle really, but thought I should write something\!) > > It has, and continues to be functional enough to produce our designs, but basic enough to use easily. ----- ### "My thoughts? Not sure what u mean." — 4.0/5 > **George** | *16 August 2019* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s pretty comprehensive and the fact that you guys continue to update. > > **Cons**: It’s a closed system. Does not work well with other files. I also wish you guys had a thorough training manual or video tutorials. > > Overall been a bit frustrated. I wish the software was more geared to apparel or could exchange with outside files. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/283806/patternsmith?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/283806/patternsmith) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
