I entered this domain by chance, following the demand of a designer I work with for my online translated pattern store. I timidly tech-edited my first pattern and discovered myself loving it. I've never stopped since then.
I love this job because I can take part of "pattern making" process, thinking with designers about the ways to get instructions clear and easy to follow. I also like putting things in order :) And of course, for the privilege of previewing upcoming patterns!
File Format
- Microsoft Word and Excel;
- PDF;

What I check
Mathematical aspects

- comprehensiveness of materials and abbreviations listed up
- spelling and grammar
Charts

Before sending me your pattern, please go through it for one last time checking these elements yourself. That saves our time and your money!
