Editorial standards

How we select machines, record sources, draft patterns and show gaps.

How do we choose models?

We cover exact current maker listings across eight brands and several machine functions. Listing a model is not a recommendation or proof of stock. We retain source dates and use exact suffixes.

How do we record facts?

Every catalogue field has a URL and read date. Unknown or conflicting facts stay null and display “not published”. Maker list prices appear only when labelled MSRP or suggested retail price. No performance or durability conclusions are inferred from them.

How do we draft patterns?

Original measurement drafts use one data file for charts, yardage and diagrams. We check arithmetic; no sewn sample is yet photographed. Time ranges are planning estimates. Our charts do not include graded garments.

What do images establish?

Photos on this site are AI-generated illustrations. They do not show our own sewn samples. Diagrams teach seams, stitches and cutting measurements; they do not depict actual products.

How do commercial links work?

This site has no affiliate links yet. There are no commission-bearing buttons. Maker references are direct links.

How do corrections work?

Correct the source data and regenerate affected pages. A public corrections contact is not published yet. This build remains a local draft; source links let readers check disputed facts directly.
