| 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. | The record does not create a production grade, supply universal increments or breakpoints, validate a CAD file or fit population, reproduce licensed standards, or replace qualified anthropometric, pattern, technical-design, fit, quality, accessibility, safety, statistical, and user-research review. | 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 | 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 guide cites current ISO body-table, size-designation, and garment-measurement boundaries plus two peer-reviewed studies that tested the relationship between conventional grade rules, anthropometric evidence, and garment fit; it requires product-specific target deltas and validation instead of publishing universal increments. | 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. Its current notice says the application link is under repair and directs join, update, removal, and other inquiries to supplychain@cfda.com. |
