| 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. | Certification bodies maintain and verify the published scope-certificate data. A listed scope certificate does not establish that a particular shipment has a valid transaction certificate, that every product or site is in scope, or that the company has suitable capacity, availability, performance, commercial terms, or project fit. Confirm the exact standard, organization, sites, products, validity dates, scope, and applicable transaction certificate before relying on a claim. |

| 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. | Textile Exchange states that this registry combines current scope-certificate data supplied by active certification bodies so users can confirm whether an organization is certified and inspect its certified materials, products, and sites. Its separate authentication guidance directs users to authenticate transaction certificates for certified shipments rather than treating a company-level scope certificate as proof of a particular transaction. |
