It will not fix a measurement taken wrongly. The draft is only as good as the
numbers entered. If two people in the shop take the waist at different places the stored
record is worth nothing - and agreeing where each measurement is taken costs nothing, which
makes it the best value change in the building.
It will not cut the cloth. The full-size printed pattern is the output.
Cutting is still a skill, and a cutting machine is a separate purchase with its own cost.
It will not cover gents or bulk work. Those modules are in the larger plans.
Buying Mini for work it does not cover is a disappointment that was avoidable at the demo.
It will not print on an ordinary A4 printer. A full-scale pattern needs
continuous roll paper.
It will not pay for itself in a shop with spare capacity. The return comes
from orders previously refused, alterations that stop coming back, and cloth that stops going
into the bin.
