| Best for | Finding quilt-material sellers and adjacent quilting services by country or map | Inspecting body-measurement, garment-block, paper-prototype, test-pattern, cutting, and pattern-refinement instruction in an Indonesian vocational textbook | Searching current and out-of-print sewing patterns | Researching loom-ready weaving structures and drafts |
| 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 a 2013 Indonesian-language vocational school textbook, not a current national competency standard, universal block or sizing system, professional qualification, ready-to-sew pattern, or proof of individual fit. Some equipment, terminology, pedagogy, body classification, formulas, measurement practices, and construction assumptions may be dated or unsuitable for another person, material, product, or production setting. Confirm current equipment instructions, target-body evidence, ease, material behavior, representative samples, accessibility, and fit evaluation before applying its methods. | 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. | A visible drawdown is not automatically a complete, corrected, rights-cleared, or loom-compatible project plan. Full draft data and advanced tools require a renewing subscription, and historical sources can contain errors or unclear provenance. Check shafts, treadles, tie-up, sett, yarn, floats, repeats, copyright status, and WIF compatibility before committing a warp. |

| 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. | Indonesia's Ministry of Education repository publishes Dasar Pola II as a 294-page vocational school book and learning module prepared by the government for the initial Curriculum 2013 implementation. The record names the Directorate for Vocational Secondary School Development and provides a direct PDF under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 license. The textbook covers clothing foundations, materials and tools, body measurement, human dimensions, basic patterns, paper prototypes, cutting, and pattern refinement. It distinguishes commercial, drafted, draped, graded, test, production, and block patterns, and includes bodice and sleeve systems plus dart relocation, length and size changes, design-line development, and pattern testing. | 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. Current terms state that the free plan requires no card, paid upgrades start billing immediately, cancellation retains paid features through the current cycle, and the account then returns to free features. | Handweaving.net currently exposes the Ralph Griswold digital archive, document downloads, draft drawdown views, basic-account clipboards, and video tutorials without a paid subscription. Its subscription page reserves full drafts, WIF downloads, draft creation and editing, color tools, profile and block substitution, arrangement, repeats, and related browser tools for subscribers. The current page states that plans renew until canceled, cancellation takes effect at the next renewal, access remains until then, and refunds are not offered. |
