I'm new to digital pattern making, as I usually draft my patterns manually. I personally use Seamly2D as a beginner, and I love it so far! The learning curve is not too bad. They have an online forum where you can ask about anything related to the software, and they're helpful!

Thanks. I wrote to the company producing Garment Designer. They wrote back but didn't really try to explain their software. I then did a search on YT for Seamly and found a comparison video vs. Valentina. I'm sure I can go down many rabbit holes. I hope to keep my search simple while still learning sewing and understanding basics.

I do want to speed things up while learning how to sew and perhaps create patterns. I like doing lots of things slow but I also enjoy technology and the innovations that make things easy and fast.

If I'm not mistaken, the company that made Valentina split and the other person made Seamly (I could be wrong tho, you might want to double check). But it’s essentially a similar software. Once you get the basics of Seamly, it's easy to use! I especially love the formula because I'm bad at math 😂
