# Stitch Authority resource comparison Generated: 2026-08-01T18:40:24.648Z Comparison: This file preserves the published decision metadata for the selected routes. It is not a recommendation, provider approval, compliance decision, or record of project-specific due diligence. ## 1. Australia Basic Patternmaking Competency Permanent record: Source page: - Primary job: Find patterns & fit - Area: Patterns & fit - For: Both - Location or jurisdiction: Australia · Oceania - Access: Open access - Format: Reference - Source type: Official registry - Linked page reviewed: 2026-07-16 - Next review due: 2026-10-14 ### Best for Scoping training, hiring, assessment, or evidence requirements for basic textile-product pattern development and testing in Australia ### What the source establishes Australia's National Training Register publishes current unit MSTAT3002, Develop patterns using basic patternmaking principles. The release document describes interpreting textile-product design specifications, considering fabric performance, selecting tools and equipment, developing patterns, testing the result, and making alterations. Release 1 was generated December 22, 2022 and merged two earlier units. Current Australian apparel and live-production qualifications list MSTAT3002, while the current diploma also exposes advanced individual-fit, alteration, and fit-model units. ### Know before using This is a competency and assessment reference, not an instructional course, pattern file, qualification by reading, provider recommendation, professional license, or proof that a person can perform the work. The route does not establish enrollment availability, teaching quality, fees, support, recognition outside Australia, or product-specific fit. Confirm the current unit status, packaging rules, prerequisites, registered provider, assessment conditions, local requirements, and actual evidence before relying on it. ## 2. Peru Minedu Patronaje Program Permanent record: Source page: - Primary job: Find patterns & fit - Area: Patterns & fit - For: Both - Location or jurisdiction: Peru · Latin America & Caribbean - Access: Free download - Format: Reference - Source type: Official registry - Linked page reviewed: 2026-07-16 - Next review due: 2026-10-14 ### Best for Comparing a patternmaking curriculum, qualification claim, learning plan, or portfolio brief with Peru's published national program competencies and achievement indicators ### What the source establishes Peru's Ministry of Education currently lists Patronaje under garment manufacturing in the National Catalogue of Training Offerings, whose industry-manufacturing orientation page records a last change on June 4, 2026. The official program is code C0714-2-002 at technical level, with 80 credits and 1,760 hours. Its seven competency units cover obtaining base and graded garment patterns from a technical specification; preparing, sewing, and validating a prototype; manually or digitally laying out pattern pieces; spreading material; cutting; preparing cut pieces for production; and joining garment pieces. The connected achievement indicators name specifications, measurements, seam information, trims, finishes, base size and scale, client requirements, material optimization, cutting orders, occupational safety, and production handoff. ### Know before using This is a national program reference whose published program version is marked updated November 6, 2018, although Minedu still lists Patronaje in the current CNOF. It is not a current course-opening directory, enrollment offer, school recommendation, complete syllabus, teaching-quality assessment, professional license, practitioner certification, ready pattern, universal size or grading system, product-fit proof, or evidence that an individual completed the competencies. Confirm the current catalogue status, authorized institution, offered plan, admission, delivery, assessment, title, local recognition, equipment, software, safety, cost, accessibility, and product-specific pattern and fit evidence directly. ## 3. Textillia Permanent record: Source page: - Primary job: Find patterns & fit - Area: Patterns & fit - For: Makers - Location or jurisdiction: Global - Access: Free account - Format: Community - Source type: Community database - Linked page reviewed: 2026-07-28 - Next review due: 2027-01-24 ### Best for Cross-referencing sewing patterns, materials, and member projects ### What the source establishes Textillia's current about page describes an independent, centralized, crowdsourced database that cross-references sewing patterns, materials, resources, projects, designers, companies, and shops. Its FAQ says the site does not sell patterns or fabric, logged-in members can add records, full database access uses a free account, and paid memberships will not launch. A February 2026 notice says the dissolved company will continue the site as a donation-supported hobby project with minimal maintenance and reduced active development. ### Know before using Textillia is community-contributed and now runs with minimal maintenance, so record freshness, coverage, moderation speed, and continued availability require direct inspection. It does not sell the indexed patterns or materials. Confirm pattern files, sizing, measurements, availability, licence, errata, fabric details, and seller terms with the responsible designer, publisher, or manufacturer. Account deletion permanently removes uploaded projects, and the checked pages do not establish a complete export route. ### Account, payment, and exit - Access scope: Sewer or textile maker cross-referencing patterns, materials, projects, resources, designers, companies, and shops. - Before an account: Browse public pattern, material, project, about, FAQ, and blog pages. Search and full database or community access route through sign-in. - Free-account boundary: A free account provides full database access, contribution, project and stash organization, forums, profiles, and related community tools. - Payment boundary: The current FAQ says the planned membership system will not launch and the site will not charge for access. Donations and shirt purchases are optional and separate. - Cancellation or exit: The FAQ links an account-cancellation process and says deletion is permanent, removes uploaded projects, and does not separately cancel newsletters or recurring donations. - Saved work and data: Members can add projects, patterns, materials, and organization records. The checked pages establish permanent project deletion with account closure but no complete export route, so retain important records elsewhere. ## Next checks 1. Remove any route whose audience, jurisdiction, access, or scope does not match the job. 2. Open the permanent record and source page for every remaining route. 3. Recheck facts that can change after the listed review date. 4. Verify project-specific capability, terms, test evidence, and legal requirements with the responsible source or provider. 5. Record the reason for the final choice outside Stitch Authority.
