| Best for | Reading paper, PDF, copy-shop, or projector patterns without importing another brand's size, symbol, seam-allowance, print, or layout rules | Translating a length already stated by a pattern, controlled specification, sewing tool, or seam allowance |
| Know before using | The record does not validate a pattern, size, body-measurement method, fabric, allowance, layout, print or projection output, fit, construction, accessibility, safety, license, or finished garment, and it does not replace the current publisher instructions, a representative test garment, or qualified fit and sewing support. | This is a length-unit translation reference. It does not identify the measured feature; select, approve, or change a seam allowance; establish a universal fraction; interpret an unstated cutting or stitching line; or replace the exact pattern version, controlled specification, material and seam evidence, sample, production method, equipment, tolerance, or release authority. |

| What the source establishes | The guide cites current ISO clothing body-measurement and size-designation sources, current Simplicity publisher size guidance, current Adobe print-scaling guidance, and practitioner or educational pattern-marking and layout sources; it separates controlled pattern identity from interpretation and cutting release. | NIST states that 10 millimetres equal 1 centimetre and that one inch is exactly 25.4 millimetres. The tool uses those relationships, displays rounded equivalents, exposes the size difference to the nearest 1/16 inch when converting to inches, and preserves valid value, source-unit, and target-unit state in the URL. |
