| Know before using | Patternmaking knowledge, controlled measurement files, production conventions, and sewn fit testing are still required. The software does not validate body measurements, ease, balance, grading rules, fabric behavior, construction, or product fit. The project currently labels its user wiki manual as needing updates, so confirm current commands and file behavior against the installed release and active support channels. | The current pricing page contains conflicting prices and feature copy across plan cards, comparison rows, and FAQs; verify the amount, billing period, trial, and included capabilities at checkout. A factory profile, platform label, badge, rank, bid, estimate, message, or platform claim does not establish identity, ownership, capability, capacity, workmanship, price, compliance, delivery, or project fit. Paid placement can affect discovery. Verify the production site, subcontracting, references, samples, quality and compliance records, specifications, commercial terms, and remedies directly. | The record does not reproduce licensed ISO measurement drawings, supply universal POM codes or targets, approve an internal method, prove measurement capability or product fit, or replace qualified technical-design, pattern, fit, quality, metrology, safety, and regulatory review. |

| Access scope | Not yet reviewed at this level. | Brand sourcing United States manufacturing partners or factory seeking projects, visibility, and messages through Maker’s Row’s directory and project workflow. | Not yet reviewed at this level. |
| Before an account | Not yet reviewed at this level. | Read the brand overview, plan comparison, billing FAQ, terms, and privacy policy. The checked signed-out pages do not establish public use of factory search, project management, bids, replies, or direct messaging. | Not yet reviewed at this level. |
| Free-account boundary | Not yet reviewed at this level. | A free brand account can publish unlimited projects and receive bids from premium factories. Paid brand access adds factory search, replies, and direct messaging. The pricing FAQ also describes a free factory profile with limited features and visibility; paid factory plans add project bidding, outbound messaging, higher search placement, and promotional services. | Not yet reviewed at this level. |
| Payment boundary | Not yet reviewed at this level. | Brand and factory subscriptions recur monthly or annually, and the terms authorize future card charges until cancellation. Paid brand tiers unlock search, replies, messaging, and optional consultation or development support; paid factory tiers sell messaging, bidding, search placement, badges, and promotion. The current pricing page contains conflicting figures between plan cards, comparisons, and FAQs, so verify the exact amount and billing period at checkout. | Not yet reviewed at this level. |
| Cancellation or exit | Not yet reviewed at this level. | The pricing FAQ routes brand cancellation through account settings or support and says access continues through the current billing period without a refund for the used portion. The terms say cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term or renewal term and requires a customer-support ticket; they also warn subscription users to contact support when deactivating or recurring fees may continue. | Not yet reviewed at this level. |
| Saved work and data | Not yet reviewed at this level. | Accounts can hold profiles, projects, product details and files, bids, messages, reviews, and payment records. The terms grant Maker’s Row a broad continuing licence to user content, and the privacy policy routes removal through subscription cancellation by email. The checked pages do not document a self-service complete export, export format or timing, or what project and transaction records remain after cancellation. Keep original files and decision records outside the platform. | Not yet reviewed at this level. |
| Source and review | |||
| What the source establishes | The maintained Seamly2D repository identifies the application as GPLv3+ open-source patternmaking software for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It reads multi-size measurement files for standardized sizes and individual measurement files for custom-fit work, publishes downloadable builds and releases, and links an active website and user forum. | Maker’s Row’s current brand pricing page separates a free project-and-bid entry path from paid factory search, replies, direct messaging, and support. Its factory plans sell project access, outbound messaging, search placement, badges, and promotional services. The terms define the service as access to factories and suppliers rather than a verifier and state that Maker’s Row does not warrant factory-member offerings. | The guide cites current ISO garment-measurement, body-measurement, and textile-conditioning standards plus NIST measurement-process guidance for repeatability and reproducibility; it requires organization-specific codes, added points, targets, and tolerances to remain explicitly controlled. |
