| Know before using | This is a short, child-oriented introduction, not a complete weaving course, equipment manual, four-shaft or backstrap-loom guide, cultural-practice record, or safety procedure. It does not establish yarn selection, sett, tension, finishing, accessibility, skill, or product quality. The page provides little written instruction, and caption or transcript quality was not confirmed; use appropriate supervision and materials. | A foundational library, not yet an exhaustive stitch encyclopedia. | 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. |

| What the source establishes | Mexico's Cultura en la Distancia portal publishes the Tutorial | Tejido activity, attributes the information to the Puebla Secretariat of Culture, and describes building a loom to learn how thread becomes cloth. The checked page returned HTTP 200 and linked to a working Museo Amparo video record titled Tutorial: Tejido. | The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface. | 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. |
