- Hi folks,
-
- this is my first post here. Good ideas and useful information about
- fabric outlets 'round here. BTW, does anyone know about a store in
- Germany where Malden Polartek fabrics are available?

- I'm going further: Knowing the freeware programs like tgif and xfig, I
- realize that they're not appropriate for any serious geometric construction.
-
- The thing I want to do is pattern construction, as I have done quite
- successfully but SLOW with ruler and pencil for years. The slow thing
- about it is copying my 1:10 drawings to original size.
-
- It would be great to have something like an interactive PostScript tool with
- some features like CorelDraw or Aldus FreeHand have. The professional
- pattern construction guidelines are all a kind of programs, so the whole
- thing should be programmable, too (PostScript is!). Finally, it would
- be a nice gag to generate parametrized patterns that only need a bunch of
- body measures and spew out a complete 1:1 pattern (or even control a cutting
- machine :) ).
-
- I'm thinking about a modification of the GNU ghostscript tool, introducing
- mouse-modifiable control points that cause a redraw of the whole
- drawing each time they're modified.
-
- Does anyone know if there exists such a tool? Or do you have further ideas
- of which programs I might use parts?
-
- Thanks in advance, Dolfi
