| Area | Yarn | Production | Materials | Patterns & fit |
| Best for | Replacing a discontinued or unavailable yarn | Reviewing public labor-compliance findings for a participating factory | Finding quilt-material sellers and adjacent quilting services by country or map | Auditing inherited grade rules or controlling a new multi-size pattern release from approved targets through sample evidence |
| Know before using | A suggested match is a data-based shortlist, not proof that the yarn suits the pattern or maker. Yarn records can be incomplete or wrong, prices and availability vary by market, and the site uses affiliate links. Confirm the required gauge, total length, fibre behavior, construction, care, color, dye lot, accessibility, and seller terms, then make and assess a representative swatch before committing. | Coverage is limited to participating countries and eligible factories, and current migration can delay recent assessments; absence of a published issue is not approval, a complete audit, or proof of sourcing fit. | 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. |

| What the source establishes | YarnSub's official FAQ says its matching software compares gauge, texture, yarn weight and density, fibre content, and fibre qualities such as drape and softness. Discontinued yarns remain searchable as starting points but are excluded from suggested replacements, and each yarn page provides a route to report source-data problems. | The program publishes factory identity, country, assessment timing and method, disclosed non-compliance items, and factory responses after eligibility thresholds in participating programs. | 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. |
