Computerized Patternmaking for Apparel Production, written as a workbook, contains 20 lessons using Gerber/AccuMark Version 8.3 technology. The student learns patternmaking in the first 15 lessons followed by 3 lessons in digitizing and grading procedures, concluding with 2 lessons in order-processing and marker-making. The sequence of lessons simulates the actual Gerber job flow processes used in the apparel industry. The intent of this book is to bridge the gap between knowing what the software functions do and applying them to the working environment. It will appeal to students who aspire to work in the fashion industry as well as highly experienced garment industry employees who need to learn new technical skills.
