| Best for | Custom-fit home sewing patterns | Checking a named facility's current WRAP certification or discovering listed production units |
| Know before using | A generated pattern is not independent fit evidence or a production-ready graded block. The result still depends on accurate measurements, the selected design and options, ease assumptions, fabric behavior, construction, and representative test garments. An account stores saved patterns and measurement sets, so review the platform's privacy terms before retaining personal measurements. | The public map is opt-in and certification applies to an individual production unit; it does not establish product quality, capacity, availability, upstream coverage, or whole-chain performance. |

| What the source establishes | FreeSewing's official documentation says the browser editor drafts a selected design in real time from a measurement set rather than scaling or grading a standard-size pattern. Users can adjust design options and export the generated result, including as PDF; saving the pattern to an account is optional and is used to revisit it later. | WRAP states that the map contains current certified production units worldwide and supports manufacturer discovery across apparel, footwear, sewn and leather goods, and textiles. |
