Yes. We can print your finished work anywhere from 24-62″ on our in house plotters and printers.  Please refer to our Printing / Plotting and Marker Making tabs on the services page for pricing information.

Half please, so we can be certain that both sides match exactly.  If you send both sides we will generally fold the piece in half unless otherwise indicated.  If your “symmetric” piece is really not symmetric at all we will ask if you want us to clean to clean things up or digitize exactly as is.

Yes, but you must specify on the pattern piece which segment should be perfectly straight.  We will not make assumptions about what should or should not be straight.  We digitize patterns EXACTLY as they come in unless otherwise indicated and agreed upon prior to work starting.

Our standard turnaround time for digitizing and/or grading is 5 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) from the day we receive ALL parts of your project. If you need your pattern sooner, we are generally able to accommodate these requests for an up-charge based on your time requirements. You will need to indicate how soon the pattern is needed and we will make arrangements with you from there to discuss the up-charge. *This is an estimate based on 1-3 patterns at a time.  Larger orders or patterns with highly technical and/or excessive pieces may take longer.

Only if you want us to! There will be no modifications made to your patterns whatsoever unless you specifically direct us to do so. Additional charges may apply. You must be certain that your pattern pieces are correct. Pattern pieces will be digitized exactly as they are received. If there is a mistake in the original pattern, it will still be there in the newly digitized pattern. If you are concerned that your pattern is not perfect, we are happy to help sort out the problems, but it must be confirmed ahead of time.

We will include the following information on each pattern piece IF YOU INCLUDE IT.  Desired pattern information should be recorded on every piece you want the information on (or on a piece of paper attached to the piece in the event the pattern piece is too small). This includes:

1. Designer’s Name
2. Style or Code
3. Pattern Piece (i.e. Center Front Bodice Self)
4. Number of pieces in the pattern (i.e. 1 of 8)
5. Cut information
6. Grainline direction
7. Notches
8. Any additional information you would like recorded on your pattern
   (i.e. If a segment needs to be perfectly straight and you are unsure your pattern piece is perfectly straight please clearly mark the segment on your pattern piece)

Yes and No.  If you include and indicate them, so do we.  If you don’t include them, neither do we.  But, if you don’t include them and would like them included we are happy to add them in. You must indicate this ahead of time and for all places you would like them added as well as how much Seam Allowance you would like for any given side.

Yes. We digitize EXACTLY as we receive your work. Please be sure that any internal elements you would like included are clearly marked on your pattern pieces.  *We reserve the right to charge our standard hourly rate of $65 per hour for excessive internal information.

Of course! Whatever pattern you submit for grading will be considered the base size from which we will grade up and down. You must clearly mark what size you are submitting as your base size on your pattern pieces.  From there, we are happy to help you figure out what your growth should be.

Fantastic! If you have a specific size chart that you work from, you must include this with your pattern.

A Marker is your road map to saving money on fabric, cut costs and quality control.  Once you know what you need to produce, we will lay out your pattern piece based on your quantities and the cuttable width of your fabric.  This way, your cutter knows exactly what needs to be cut and has the most efficient way to cut everything to eliminate fabric waste.  Alternatively, if you know how much fabric you have an just need to know what you can produce, Markers can allow you to work backwards and figure out your possible units.  Please refer to “Marker Marking” Under the Services page for more information.
