| Know before using | Coverage is quilting-specific and uneven by country; businesses can pay for enhanced features, and community or owner updates do not verify inventory, service quality, hours, or availability. | This is federal guidance, not the controlling legislation, an approved label, a product classification, or legal advice. It does not resolve every exemption, fibre test, origin claim, care label, product-safety rule, provincial language duty, or market-specific requirement. Confirm the current Act and Regulations, Quebec and other applicable rules, the actual article and fibre evidence, and the responsible dealer before sale or import. | The workflow is not a contract or quality certification; local legal duties and technical review may still apply. |

| What the source establishes | QuiltMap describes free public search and free basic listings, community submissions and claims, and country routes covering North America, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Australia. | The Competition Bureau guide outlines Canada's Textile Labelling Act and Regulations for prescribed consumer textile articles. It covers fibre percentages and generic names, dealer name and address or CA number, bilingual fibre information, permanent and non-permanent labels, imports, and advertising. The guide also flags additional French-language requirements in Quebec and directs readers to the full Act and Regulations. | The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface. |
