Sure Fit Designs - anyone here use them?

I'm looking for feedback from anyone here who has had experience with the "Sure-Fit Designs" product kits. Are they as easy to use and are the resulting patterns as good a fit as advertised?

TIA -- Irene

Already checked there....didn't find anything on that site which is why I posed the question here.

I looked at it. There were a number of different types of systems that are practically identical in function to this developed in, I was told, the 40s and 50s and maybe even 60s when practically everybody made their own clothes, and I have a different one that I bought decades ago. I think with how badly a lot of patterns fit these days, these are going to give you about the same fit as a well-drafted (N.B. not all commercial patterns these days are well-drafted) multisize pattern that you can give yourself, say, a size 14 bust, size 12 waist, and size 16 hip (which is what I had to do when I used them) but just like multisize patterns are not so accommodating of vertical size differences than horizontal ones.

These days there is also pattern-drafting software, and before you commit yourself to a paper-based system, you should also check all the popular pattern-drafting software out there to see if you like that better (I am an avid Patternmaster Boutique fan; other people are equally enthusiastic about Dress Shop, and if you also knit, then Cochenille Design Studio is worth lookiing at because it drafts knitting and sewing patterns).
