## Description

Grade your own pattern into a full size run. Deterministic, checked, computed on device — AI never touches your measurements.

PatternPlot turns a paper sewing pattern into an editable, true-scale vector on your iPad — then grades it into a full size run you define, deterministically.

Tracing a pattern got easy years ago. Grading — turning one size into a trustworthy run of sizes — is still the hard, trust-sensitive job. PatternPlot is built around that job, on device, with geometry you can audit.

FREE — real work, no subscription
• Photograph or import a paper pattern and trace it with Apple Pencil (or finger + numeric entry).
• Import your own vector artwork (SVG) at true scale — free, because it is how you get your work in.
• Edit true-scale vector pieces: add seam allowance per edge, notches, and grainlines.
• Export true-scale tiled PDFs and A0 — with a 50 mm calibration square and registration marks so your print is exactly to scale.
• Grade YOUR piece: mark a reference point and an axis, type how much each size grows, and see the whole run nested on screen.
• A quality report on every graded size: drift beyond the safe grade range, collapsed edges, and self-intersections.
• Export the base size — the size you drafted — at any time.
No purchase is required to do any of this. Basic export is never locked behind a paywall.

PRO GRADING — the paid tier
• A tiled PDF for every size in your run.
• A vector outline of every piece at every size.
• A nest of the whole run on one sheet.
• Every piece of the garment in each file, not just one.
• A spreadsheet of what every declared seam measured, size by size.
• Your grade corrections saved to a file, so another garment can use them.

The vector files carry the stitching outline only — no seam allowance, notches or grainline.
Reading a saved corrections file back into a pattern is free; only writing one is Pro.

HONEST BY DESIGN
The grade is deterministic geometry computed on your device. AI never touches your measurements: no coordinate, seam allowance, notch position, or graded measurement is ever produced by a model.

PatternPlot also tells you when a size drifts beyond a safe grade range, so you can re-check proportions before cutting fabric. We describe this as garment-aware grading — not a fit guarantee.

REQUIRES: iPad on iPadOS 17 or later. Apple Pencil recommended but not required.
