| Know before using | Textillia is community-contributed and now runs with minimal maintenance, so record freshness, coverage, moderation speed, and continued availability require direct inspection. It does not sell the indexed patterns or materials. Confirm pattern files, sizing, measurements, availability, licence, errata, fabric details, and seller terms with the responsible designer, publisher, or manufacturer. Account deletion permanently removes uploaded projects, and the checked pages do not establish a complete export route. | 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. | The platform is for knit and crochet rather than sewing, and a profile, application, rating, or platform listing does not prove technical competence, availability, identity, or fit for a project. Prices and plan limits can change. Define the test or edit scope, sizes, yarn, deadlines, compensation, confidentiality, intellectual property, file handling, expected feedback, and dispute process in writing before work starts. | A profile, match, uploaded credential, training credit, award, or platform ranking is not independent certification of a supplier or proof of current capability, performance, impact, capacity, or project fit. The platform's own ranking inputs and paid visibility affect discovery. Verify credentials with the issuer and check the legal entity, production site, claims, samples, references, terms, and compliance directly. |

| Access scope | Sewer or textile maker cross-referencing patterns, materials, projects, resources, designers, companies, and shops. | Sewer searching pattern records or organizing patterns, projects, fabric, notions, and private files. | Knit or crochet tester, designer, sample maker, or tech editor using one role-specific workflow. | Fashion professional or supplier using content, profiles, connections, or a sourcing workflow. |
| Before an account | Browse public pattern, material, project, about, FAQ, and blog pages. Search and full database or community access route through sign-in. | Browse the pattern database, guide, designers, publications, and public community areas without creating an account. | Browse public open testing calls and the provider's feature and pricing pages without signing in. | Public content and explanation pages are visible while signed out; profiles, personalized matches, saved items, and connections require signup. |
| Free-account boundary | A free account provides full database access, contribution, project and stash organization, forums, profiles, and related community tools. | A free account needs no card and supports a stash, wishlist, projects, reviews, and personal organization. | A free signup lets people look around, and testers participate without a platform charge. Designers and tech editors face different role boundaries. | A free account provides a personal or business profile, limited monthly connections, free content, and up to three portfolio items. |
| Payment boundary | The current FAQ says the planned membership system will not launch and the site will not charge for access. Donations and shirt purchases are optional and separate. | Plus adds PDF pattern storage, collections, saved searches, bulk editing, and other workflow features on monthly or annual billing. | Designers can pay per call or job, buy non-expiring credits, or subscribe monthly. Tech editors need a separate monthly subscription to apply for jobs. | PRO adds unlimited connections, paid content and training, more profile capacity, and business sourcing workflows. Monthly and annual routes use provider-set terms. |
| Cancellation or exit | The FAQ links an account-cancellation process and says deletion is permanent, removes uploaded projects, and does not separately cancel newsletters or recurring donations. | Cancel through an in-account link. Paid features remain through the current billing cycle, then the account returns to free features. | The pricing page says monthly subscriptions can be canceled at any time, but it does not state when paid access ends or what happens to active tests or applications. | Cancel in the account by selecting downgrade. A business profile returns to the free version and only its first three portfolio items remain visible. |
| Saved work and data | Members can add projects, patterns, materials, and organization records. The checked pages establish permanent project deletion with account closure but no complete export route, so retain important records elsewhere. | The terms say submitted materials remain yours, but the checked public pages do not explain a full export or how stored PDFs behave after downgrade. Keep originals outside the platform. | Designers can download pattern-test feedback as CSV or XLSX. The checked pages do not establish a full account export or deletion route. | Profiles can contain files, work history, product galleries, and sustainability evidence. The current access and pricing pages do not establish full export or deletion; retain originals. |
| Source and review | ||||
| What the source establishes | Textillia's current about page describes an independent, centralized, crowdsourced database that cross-references sewing patterns, materials, resources, projects, designers, companies, and shops. Its FAQ says the site does not sell patterns or fabric, logged-in members can add records, full database access uses a free account, and paid memberships will not launch. A February 2026 notice says the dissolved company will continue the site as a donation-supported hobby project with minimal maintenance and reduced active development. | 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. | Yarnpond's current pages let knit and crochet designers publish public or private testing calls, select applicants, communicate with test teams, set milestones, collect feedback, post sample-making calls, and advertise tech-editing jobs. Testers can participate without charge, while designers pay per testing or job post, use credits that the pricing page says do not expire, or use a monthly subscription that the page says can be canceled. | Common Objective currently offers free individual and business profiles, personalised matches, supplier and content search, and limited monthly connection requests. Paid tiers unlock unlimited connections, additional content, training credits, and the CO Create sourcing workflow. Businesses enter their own profile information and upload certification or membership evidence; profile completeness, sustainability material, training credits, awards, and paid capabilities can influence visibility or ranking. |
