Perfect Fit pattern making book/kit

Has anyone here used the Perfect Fit system? I went to a class and purchased the kit back around 1978. Was thinking about it recently and checked with Amazon- new it is $88, and used from $39.

It has a measuring system and the possibilities of 1200 different patterns. It showed the way to make your pants fit perfectly. I had a low slung butt and a small waist at the time-(and I thought that was a problem....lol) using a string and washer to put the crotch seam in just the exact right place and the waist at the correct height in front and back. Mine from purchased patterns always was a tad lower in the back, and 1.5 in too high in the front...

My mom was built looking like she was 7 mo pregnant all the time and we made her custom fit slacks using this method...

Has anyone else out there used it? Do you still? I want to get mine out now and use it again...
