| Know before using | The page does not publish price and its product-quality, error-prevention, data-loss, and fit statements are vendor claims. Capabilities vary across Essential, Classic, Expert, 3D, and add-ons. Confirm licenses, modules, support, system and file requirements, then pilot approved blocks, grade rules, supplier reopen, material and mannequin data, plot or cut outputs, and risk-appropriate physical fit and production checks. | This is a general educational reference, not a neutral material ranking, complete fibre encyclopedia, specification, test report, sourcing database, lifecycle assessment, certification, safety procedure, or proof of a product claim. Coverage and citation depth vary by page, and some environmental, care, performance, or end-of-life statements are broad. Fibre name alone does not establish a fabric's construction, blend percentage, finish, quality, behavior, or suitability. Confirm the exact composition, construction, finish, care label, sample behavior, test evidence, certification scope, and project requirements with the responsible supplier, scheme, laboratory, or specialist. | A generated pattern is not independent fit evidence or a production-ready graded block. The result still depends on accurate measurements, the selected design and options, ease assumptions, fabric behavior, construction, and representative test garments. An account stores saved patterns and measurement sets, so review the platform's privacy terms before retaining personal measurements. |

| What the source establishes | Lectra's current Modaris page identifies version 2025.2 as the latest listed release and describes a one- to three-year subscription with two releases per year. The modular range covers base-pattern creation and modification, grading and industrialization, native-file supplier work, pattern libraries, synchronized 2D and 3D prototypes, configurable or imported mannequins, and separate conversion and consumption-estimate add-ons. | The live QUT index says the knowledge base is designed to help users choose an appropriate textile and extend garment use. It links 14 topics: nine named fibre pages, textile blends, re-making, reuse, recycling, and repair. Checked silk, polyester, wool, and blend pages organize information under overview, common fabrics, context of use, care, recycling, and further reading where applicable. QUT identifies TextileR as a research group and publishes named researchers, publications, objectives, and a direct contact. | FreeSewing's official documentation says the browser editor drafts a selected design in real time from a measurement set rather than scaling or grading a standard-size pattern. Users can adjust design options and export the generated result, including as PDF; saving the pattern to an account is optional and is used to revisit it later. |
