Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to have previous experience in Clo3D or other pattern drafting software?

Not at all! I’ll explain all the basics of pattern drafting and Clo3D from the start, so you don’t need any previous experience. I’ll focus mainly on the pattern drafting side of the software, but I’ll leave additional resources in case you’d like more in-depth knowledge of the full 3D capabilities of the program.

I’m not a professional pattern maker, can I still take the course?

Absolutely! In fact, I find that Clo3D can benefit home sewists in so many ways, as it gives you the ability to test your designs within the software (without wasting any fabric!), and then you can print the patterns on your regular home printer and start sewing. I do this all the time when I make garments for myself!

I already work in the intimate apparel industry, would this course be too basic for me?

You probably have a solid knowledge of pattern drafting already, but with this course you’ll learn to transfer those skills to the software, which will allow you to create more accurate patterns faster. You’ll also benefit from learning the multiple ways in which Clo3D can be used in a production environment to streamline both the design and the fitting process.

Will I be able to get support if I get stuck?

Of course! All the lessons have a comments section where you can ask questions, and I check those regularly to provide answers. I believe in supporting all my students at every step of the way, and making mistakes and asking questions are all parts of the learning process!

If you have any other questions about the course, I’ll be happy to help! Just send me an email at atelier@sofia-luzon.com.
