• Frequently asked questions about the CADTERNS Cyber School for Online Learning:
  • Q: Is this school open just for CADTERNS customers?
  • A: By no means. Anyone who wants to learn more about how to style slopers into patterns is welcome to participate.
     
  • Q: Can I use my own slopers at the Cyber School?
  • A: Certainly you can. Because the lessons began and have remained as part of the CADTERNS Personal Patternmaking System, all of the examples are shown using CADTERNS slopers. Information in the lessons is universal and can be applied to any uncomplicated, basic sewing pattern of the same type (for example Womenswear Blouse or Menswear Trousers.)
