I've written a free java program I'm tentatively calling "Pattern Designer," mostly as an excuse to learn the language. It is in constant state of improvement.

Technique Materials

A computer capable of running Java 5.0. A printer. Measuring tape. The "Pattern Designer" distribution "available on my website":http://mysite.verizon.net/jeremy_erwin/PatternDesigner.zip

    Your programm is very intresting! I really hope You’ll write more tutorials for it and a user’s guide.
    I am very interested how to make my own patterns with it and how to enter a new set of measurements.
    I like the users interface and I hope you are going on to improve it.
    Best wishes

      No, it’ll work on a mac, linux, freebsd. Basically any computer that supports java.
