Hi all,
Following my ongoing interest in mass customization (http:// amitaibu.com/mtm , http://www.fashion-incubator.com/mt/...fting_vide...), and after exhibiting my concepts and designs in Japan I've decided to write a research about this issue. The title of the work is "Old Habits & New Technologies in The Home Sewing Industry". The work deals with different MTM (Made-To-Measure) technologies that follow the mass-customization concept. In the work I will try to figure if people are really ready to accept those new technologies. It is often said that there is a difference between what people are asking for and what they actually want. So, are home sewers ready for customized patterns? Is this indeed an important thing for them? What other elements are needed by the community? I have published a short version of the survey, that should take about 3-5 min to answer: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?s..._2fQhA1w_3d_3d. People with more interest in the issue are encouraged to answer the survey (about 10-15 min to answer): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?s...Xd2_2b9Q_3d_3d The goal is over 100 participants by the beginning of August 2008. The work will be ready by January 2009. |

I found it quite difficult to find an accurate answer a number of questions in your multiple-choice concept, but it probably will give you funny results on your survey. I did, however, leave a comment at the end about pattern-drafting software. If you want to research commercially-available customized patterns, you should research the companies already out there doing this and see if they are doing well or not. I was not interested in volunteering "...10-15 min.." of my valuable time to a first-time poster asking for 'our' help with its commercial(?) project. YMMV Beverly |

YMMV Well, I was curious enough to see what the focus of the survey was. Different strokes for different folks.. ;-) I always run a search on an unknown-to-me poster's nym to see if they have contributed *anything* previously *to* the group. If they haven't I ignore them.

In the case of the eBay shill, I was just a tiny bit intrigued by the subject line, and wanted to see what it was about. However, it just proved the veracity of my usual rule. ;-} Beverly |
