What to do now that the decision has been made to hire a tech editor? How to proceed? What is the process?

• Using the Contact Form, let us know a little about the pattern you would like tech edited (what it is, what techniques are used, etc.) and the time frame.

• We will respond by email requesting a pdf copy of the pattern and your style sheet if you have one developed. After giving the pattern a general review, we will email you with the estimated cost and turn around time (TAT).

• TAT: 7 days. Shorter TATs will certainly be considered if needed.

• Estimated Cost:

• simple accessories – 1 hour

• simple garments – 1 to 2 1/2 hours

• complex garments - > 2 1/2 hours

• Once your approval to go ahead has been received, the tech edit will proceed.

• Our preference is to annotate a pdf document but other document formats can be accommodated.

• If we have underestimated the cost of the tech edit, we will get in touch with you before proceeding any further, outlining the issues.

• We will return an annotated pdf copy of the pattern with additional comments in an email.

• You make the necessary changes to the pattern.

• Before publication, send the pattern back to us for a final check (included in the cost).

• An invoice will be issued by email. Please pay using PayPal.
