What is Valentina?
Valentina lets you create shareable custom-sized digital patterns using traditional patternmaking formulas. Create measurement files for yourself and others with our daughter application  TAPE . You can also create multisize (standard) tables.

Here's the workflow:
 * 1) Open or create a Valentina pattern file.
 * 2) Open or create a Tape measurement file.
 * 3) Create points, lines, curves, circles, and arcs using your formulas to create your initial drafts.
 * 4) Create outlines of pattern pieces. These are called 'Workpieces'.
 * 5) Enter Detail mode, then add seam allowances, letters, labels, grainlines, passmarks, cutting instructions, and internal paths/lines/curves to your Workpieces. Also, you can combine Workpieces, and select which workpieces will be included in your layout image.
 * 6) Enter Layout mode, then create a large layout image to contain all of your selected finished Workpieces.
 * 7) Print your large layout image to your large format printer or plotter.  OR, print your large layout image as a tiled PDF to your desktop A4 or Letter printer.
