| Know before using | The workflow is not a contract or quality certification; local legal duties and technical review may still apply. | Search results emphasize accredited members who pay for public service listings; confirm availability, travel, scope, proposal, insurance, cost, and treatment approach directly. | 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 | The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface. | Icon states that the directory lists accredited members available for private commissions and provides service, specialist-practice, and location filters. | 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. |
