Piece quantities
Reconcile pieces per block, block totals and cutting-table quantities.
Operator-reviewed beta Mathematical preflight
Catch quilt-pattern maths errors before customers do.
Upload a completed Word or text-based PDF pattern. Confirm the extracted measurements, then receive a source-linked arithmetic preflight reviewed during our beta quality-control process.

“From Background fabric, cut (32) 2½″ × 4½″ rectangles.”
Not a black box.
Every flag includes the source, the assumption and the maths.A careful first pass
From manuscript to review-ready evidence.
You remain in control of uncertain values. The confirmed model—not a parser guess—drives every check.

Preflight
Deterministic rules run with exact fractional arithmetic and retain their version.

Review
A beta operator checks every finding, then releases a source-linked report.
Supported checks
Narrow enough to explain. Useful enough to save a second pass.
Finished dimensions
Check declared finished and unfinished relationships with exact fractions.
Strip yield
Calculate WOF yield, required strips and transparent shortage or surplus.
Fabric requirements
Compare confirmed strip usage with stated rounded yardage.
Quilt dimensions
Rebuild simple grids, sashing and straight borders from confirmed inputs.
Completeness
Locate confirmed pieces, fabrics or blocks missing a matching instruction.
Designed for
Simple block-based patterns, straight seams, rectangles, strips, repeated blocks, grids, sashing and straight borders.
Not checked
Curves, appliqué, templates, on-point layouts, diagrams, prose quality, construction practicality or artistic judgement.
Paid pilot pricing
Pay for a completed check. Not another subscription.

Questions, answered
Trust starts with clear limits.
Does this replace a technical editor?
No. It is a narrow arithmetic and internal-consistency first pass before professional technical editing, pattern testing and your final review.
What files can I upload?
English-language DOCX files with paragraphs and tables, or PDFs with selectable text. Scans and image-only PDFs are not supported.
Does a person see my pattern?
During the paid beta, an authorised operator reviews the extracted values and automated findings before release. Every access and report change is logged.
Is my pattern used to train models?
No. Uploaded documents are not used to train models. The core extraction and every arithmetic result follow deterministic code paths.
What if my pattern uses curves or appliqué?
The report will identify the unsupported area and direct it to manual technical-editor review instead of inventing a result.
What happens after I revise the pattern?
Each paid project includes one revised upload within 14 days. The next report separates resolved, remaining and new contradictions.
A second pair of eyes for the numbers
Know where the arithmetic needs attention before handoff.
Quilt Pattern Preflight checks internal arithmetic consistency within its supported scope. It does not replace professional technical editing, pattern testing or the designer’s final review.
