| Know before using | Historical export activity is discovery evidence, not proof of current products, factory ownership, capacity, minimums, price, quality, certification, labor conditions, contact accuracy, or fit for a project. Confirm the legal entity, facility, capability, and current terms directly. | Community members add and quality-control the records, so confirm sizing, measurements, fabric suggestions, format, availability, errata, license, and purchase terms with the designer or publisher. Adding an entry to a stash does not provide the pattern files. Saved searches and private PDF storage are paid Plus features, and a listing or review does not establish pattern accuracy or fit. | CFDA states that it collects basic business information but does not audit, certify, or monitor the listed facilities, and that inclusion is not endorsement, recommendation, a quality guarantee, or CFDA membership. Verify identity, ownership, capabilities, materials, equipment, minimums, capacity, price, lead time, quality systems, labor and environmental practices, compliance, references, contracts, and product fit directly before selection. |

| What the source establishes | PROMPERÚ states that the interactive report uses annual export statistics from the last three closed years and segments results by productive sector, tariff heading, destination market, and region; clothing and decoration is an available sector. | Threadloop's official guide describes an independent, fully crowdsourced database covering available and out-of-print sewing patterns. Its search supports pattern type, fabric type, age group, body type, cup size, level, format, file features, language, measurements, availability, and other filters; members can also track a stash, wishlist, projects, reviews, and discussions. | CFDA publishes this as an open-access directory of United States fashion contract manufacturers with no registration required. The page supports sorting by service, product, category, and sample or production minimums and publishes an email route for manufacturers to add, update, or remove a listing. |
