| Know before using | This is a member referral directory, not a Stitch Authority roster or approval. ASDP states that it makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees and assumes no responsibility for members' products or services. Membership, a code of ethics, a profile, or referral availability does not establish credentials, experience, capacity, insurance, price, accessibility, workmanship, schedule, or project fit. Check those points, references, scope, samples, terms, and remedies directly. | The record does not reproduce licensed code diagrams, verify a user's proposed code, authorize an ISO and ASTM crosswalk, select a construction, set stitch density or machine settings, prove supplier repeatability or performance, or replace the licensed standards and qualified construction, sewing, production, testing, safety, and quality review. |

| What the source establishes | ASDP's public directory searches members currently accepting referrals by location and professional specialty, including patternmakers, production sewers, designers, teachers, tailors, alteration specialists, and fabric or materials suppliers. A result opens a member profile and a contact action, and the page identifies the population as association members in good standing. | The guide cites the current public scopes and statuses of ISO 4915:1991, ISO 4916:1991, and ASTM D6193-16(2025), plus current seam-failure and seam-tensile methods; it keeps classification, translation, complete process definition, physical verification, and performance evidence separate. |
