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: Open or create a Valentina pattern file. Open or create a Tape measurement file. Create points, lines, curves, circles, and arcs using your formulas to create your initial drafts. Create outlines of pattern pieces. These are called 'Workpieces'. 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. Enter Layout mode, then create a large layout image to contain all of your selected finished Workpieces. 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.
