About this service

Summary

I have over a decade of experience in pattern writing for publication, having worked with some of the industry's trailblazing tech editors. As a content editor and technical writer, I am offering this service at an affordable rate. I hope that this will make tech edited patterns more accessible for indie designers.

What's included

  • Grading check

    I'll compare your sizing to the sloper and ensure that grading is fit-appropriate across sizes. I'll make suggestions for ways to present your sizing in the pattern front matter, to assist your customers in finding the right fit for them.

  • Pattern edited for clarity and consistency

    I'll make sure your sentences are clean, that your formatting is consistent, and you're using the same abbreviations and terminology throughout. I'll check that your increases and decreases are moving in the intended direction, that your cables cross the right way around, and your colourwork patterns line up with the center of your garment. I'll make suggestions for ways to phrase instructions that avoid ambiguity and prevent confusion.

  • Pattern numbers checked for correctness

    I'll review your stitch and row counts across all sizes to ensure that the numbers add up, simple as that. I'll make suggestions for ways that these can be adjusted in line with any fitting suggestions I make.
