| Know before using | This is a member referral directory, not a Stitch Authority roster or approval. The observed result count can change and is not a practitioner census. ASDP states that it makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees and assumes no responsibility for members' products or services. Membership, a code of ethics, a profile, a patternmaking category, or stated referral availability does not establish identity, credentials, experience, current availability, capacity, insurance, price, accessibility, workmanship, file compatibility, schedule, or project fit. Confirm those points, references, scope, samples, terms, and remedies directly. | The record does not create a production grade, supply universal increments or breakpoints, validate a CAD file or fit population, reproduce licensed standards, or replace qualified anthropometric, pattern, technical-design, fit, quality, accessibility, safety, statistical, and user-research review. | The portal does not decide whether a product requires certification, identify the correct rules or certificate data, classify an entry, replace the current 16 CFR part 1110 text, or reconcile a filing to an actual shipment. Effective dates and workflows differ by entry route; use current CPSC, CBP, customs, product-safety, and legal review. |

| What the source establishes | ASDP's public directory searches members currently accepting referrals by location and professional specialty. At the July 26, 2026 check, its Patternmaking & Related Services filter returned 15 opted-in profiles with specialties, service-location text, profile or contact routes, and some remote-service notes. The page identifies the population as association members in good standing. | The guide cites current ISO body-table, size-designation, and garment-measurement boundaries plus two peer-reviewed studies that tested the relationship between conventional grade rules, anthropometric evidence, and garment fit; it requires product-specific target deltas and validation instead of publishing universal increments. | CPSC operates the eFiling portal with role-specific importer, broker, applicability, Product Registry, regulated-product, laboratory, ACE, FAQ, video, and document-library routes. The certificate final rule took effect July 8, 2026 for covered non-FTZ products, with separate timing for covered FTZ entries. |
