If you're a company with an in-house pattern maker...

• supplement your staff during peak periods
• access to broad industry knowledge of pattern making trends and practices (two heads are better than one)
• access practical coverage for vacation and/or illness

If you're a company currently out-sourcing patternmaking with production...

• decrease development time
  • reduce revision/sample cycles
  • produce precision patterns the first time
• improve product quality
  • more accurate translation of your design concepts
  • develop your company's signature "looks" through consistent sizing and silhouette management

If you're a small company or start-up...

• save on production costs
  • pattern making services are a cost-effective alternative to permanent staff
• access to broad industry knowledge of all aspects of design and production processes (two heads are better than one)

"Perfect patterns are the key to garments that fit well consistently. Bad patterns result in bad grading, bad markers and excessive fabric consumption. If there is any hope for offshore manufacturers to get it right, we must provide near perfect patterns."  Canadian Apparel magazine (November/December 2002) - Quoting Brendan Remenyi - Pattern Strategies for Global e-Commerce
