What We Do

Our Services

Everything you need to take a pattern from sample size to full production run — with precision and speed.

01

Pattern Grading

We grade your base pattern into a full size range using standard or custom grade rules — maintaining your style lines, seam relationships, and fit intent across every size.

Get started →
02

Marker Making

Fabric-optimized markers built for maximum yield — laid out to your fabric width, with attention to grain, nap, and pattern matching requirements.

Get started →
03

Pattern Digitizing

Have paper patterns? We digitize them into CAD format — Gerber, Lectra, Optitex, or DXF — ready for grading or marker making. Clean, accurate point-for-point digitizing.

04

File Conversion

We convert between Gerber, Optitex, Lectra, DXF, and other major CAD formats so your files work with any factory or cutting room, wherever they're located.
