Exclusive 3D Mannequin Ensures an Accurate Fit Aurora, Ill. -- Bernina of America has introduced a software program to reinvigorate garment sewers by providing an opportunity for each sewer to reflect her own style and creativity, as well as achieve a great fit, thanks to a first-of-its-kind 3D mannequin that appears on a computer screen and models a garment during each step of the pattern design process. With the unique ability to see before you sew, the new My Label 3D Fashion Pattern Software from Bernina, referred to as My Label, creates customized patterns based on a person’s specific body measurements. After entering initial body measurements and customizing fabric and embroidery options, the 3D mannequin realistically displays how the garment will look before the pattern is finalized and the fabric is cut.
“My Label software gives users the confidence to express individuality and personal style,” said Martin Favre, president of Bernina of America. “And while patterns created using Bernina My Label Software can be sewn on any brand of sewing machine, we hope to encourage serious garment sewers to experience Bernina’s cutting-edge technology.” My Label was unveiled to Bernina Dealers at the annual Bernina University conference this month. Interested consumers can now request a My Label software demonstration from participating Dealers. The software will available for purchase later in 2007. For a guided tour and more details, visit www.BerninaMyLabel.com. My Label users can choose from 20 traditional garment patterns, including pants, skirts, tops and jackets. From there, a sewer has extensive possibilities for customizing each piece with embroidery and decorative stitches, as well as style property changes. Once an outfit is designed, the final step is printing the pattern on a home printer or sending it to a local copy shop for printing on a plotter. My Label software can store multiple profiles, which is a useful feature for women who sew for multiple family members or who own a small business.
