| Best for | Searching current and out-of-print sewing patterns | Reading the current official evaluation framework behind one Oaxaca traditional backstrap-loom competency and any training or certification claim tied to EC1784 |
| Know before using | Community members add and quality-control the records, so confirm sizing, measurements, fabric suggestions, format, availability, errata, license, and purchase terms with the designer or publisher. Adding an entry to a stash does not provide the pattern files. Saved searches and private PDF storage are paid Plus features, and a listing or review does not establish pattern accuracy or fit. | EC1784 is an evaluation reference for a specific Oaxaca traditional-textile competency. Reading it is not training, assessment, certification, recognition as a knowledge holder, permission to teach, or permission to reproduce or commercialize community patterns, symbols, techniques, or products. It does not represent every Oaxaca, Mexican, or Latin American weaving practice. Verify the current standard, evaluator and certification route, community authority, consent, attribution, language, safety, and intended use directly. |

| What the source establishes | Threadloop's official guide describes an independent, fully crowdsourced database covering available and out-of-print sewing patterns. Its search supports pattern type, fabric type, age group, body type, cup size, level, format, file features, language, measurements, availability, and other filters; members can also track a stash, wishlist, projects, reviews, and discussions. | CONOCER's current publications register lists EC1784, and the 13-page standard records publication on February 23, 2026. It identifies the Government of Oaxaca competency committee, states that the framework can support evaluation, certification, training, and education, and separates four elements: preparing materials and tools, mounting the backstrap loom, weaving the textile, and completing the traditional finish. The document also names required performances, products, knowledge, attitudes, and glossary terms. |
