OSI Superboard II here… with a 70’s portable cassette deck as ‘storage’. So I got to play with some seriously old CADs. It’s still hard to fight my Illustrator (90’s, early 00’s) knowledge into Seamly, but it’s got to happen, yes?

Well, at least it was a cheap way to store. 
I remember paying upwards of $500 for my first “20 meg” harddrive for a C= Amiga 500. It cost as much as the computer!

Well this sort of fits what pattern system do I use… I’m now working on cutting some costumes for a cruise ship show. Like I’ve stated elsewhere I currently find it quicker drafting a pattern with pencil and paper. With the current tails jacket I’m working on, I already have a size 40, but need a 42. So… I will just grade it - which is just quicker than trying to put it in Seamly2D. I pretty much use the same grading rules from the book I had back at the University - Jack Handford’s book on grading.
To expedite the grade movements I use a Dario grading machine. You attach a pattern piece to the machine, and it has 2 sets of knobs to move up and dn, left and right, with ruler markings to precisely move a piece so you can draw the grade point areas. Then you simply play connect the dots so to speak to clran the puece up.
