| Know before using | This is a member referral directory, not a Stitch Authority roster or approval. 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, or referral availability does not establish credentials, experience, capacity, insurance, price, accessibility, workmanship, schedule, or project fit. Check those points, references, scope, samples, terms, and remedies directly. | An orientation rather than a completed product record; it does not supply a universal format, licensed standard content, measurements, tolerances, construction settings, labels, approvals, compliance conclusion, or product-release authority. | SwatchOn's supplier status, counts, and trust language describe its own marketplace and can change. They do not independently establish fibre identity, performance, certification validity, mill ownership, production capacity, colour continuity, delivery, duty, or commercial fit. Review samples, test data, current certificates, the contracting entity, order terms, and landed logistics before purchase. |

| What the source establishes | ASDP's public directory searches members currently accepting referrals by location and professional specialty, including patternmakers, production sewers, designers, teachers, tailors, alteration specialists, and fabric or materials suppliers. A result opens a member profile and a contact action, and the page identifies the population as association members in good standing. | The guide cites current ISO sources for documented-information, garment-measurement, stitch, and seam boundaries plus current U.S. FTC textile and care-labeling guidance; it explicitly separates those authorities from product-specific technical and market decisions. | SwatchOn's current marketplace page exposes fabrics, trims, and prints, with swatch samples, in-stock catalogue colours, low-order-quantity options, and global logistics support. The page publishes operator-supplied marketplace and supplier counts and labels participating suppliers as verified partners. |
