| Best for | Browsing and buying indie sewing patterns | Checking which U.S. alias the current Craft Yarn Council table gives a known metric package size before confirming project gauge |
| Know before using | This is a retailer-curated catalogue, not a complete or neutral index of sewing patterns. Customer reviews are individual reports rather than standardized fit testing, and each designer controls sizing, instructions, licence, format, errata, and support. Confirm the exact size range, cup options, finished measurements, file format, and usage terms on the product page before purchase. | The reference is not a dimensional measurement, manufacturer inspection, UK or Canadian conversion, steel-hook chart, tool recommendation, yarn assignment, gauge result, or proof that a proposed tool will produce the required fabric. |

| What the source establishes | The Fold Line's current shop and about page expose a curated catalogue of more than 7,000 sewing patterns from over 200 independent designers, a pattern finder, customer reviews, paper and digital PDF formats, and an optional large-format copy-shop printing service with worldwide shipping. | The lookup reproduces the current public Craft Yarn Council metric and U.S. alias rows and follows the Council's warning that company letter and number labels vary; blank aliases remain blank instead of being inferred. |
