| Know before using | This is a national title and curriculum overview, not a course opening, center recommendation, enrollment guarantee, teaching-quality review, provider network, pattern file, professional license, or proof that a person can perform the work. The title also covers production, leather, footwear, and related industrial contexts beyond apparel patternmaking. Confirm the current regional curriculum, authorized center, schedule, places, fees, equipment, software, workplace phase, assessment, language, and portfolio evidence directly. | The company count is a changing platform claim. Search fields, profiles, certificates, locations, and account access do not independently verify the legal entity, factory ownership, capability, capacity, certificate validity or scope, compliance performance, delivery, or project fit. Confirm the site and subcontracting, credentials with issuers, samples, audits when appropriate, specifications, contracts, and commercial terms. | 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 | Spain's Ministry of Education lists Técnico Superior en Patronaje y Moda as a current Grado Superior title lasting 2,000 hours. TodoFP names roles including CAD/CAM technical pattern designer, apparel modelist-patternmaker, and garment pattern grader. It lists learning outcomes for base patterns, transformations, grading, prototypes, materials, and industrial production, plus modules for industrial patternmaking, industrialization and grading, prototype development, materials, production, digitalization, sustainability, and a company phase. Real Decreto 954/2008 establishes the title as official and valid throughout Spain; TodoFP labels the predecessor Patronaje and Procesos de Confección Industrial titles as not current. | FOURSOURCE's current public network page presents an operator-reported global company count and country or territory search. It says logged-in users can narrow results by compliance certificates, product groups, fabric types, target groups, minimum order quantities, and other fields, with a free-trial and supplier sign-up route. | 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. |
