- Worth noticing
- The punch-card workflow specifies 24-stitch machines and supplies a 1:1 punching template.
Field notes
Users can choose a garment pattern calibrated to their gauge, upload a sketch or photo for piece-by-piece conversion, or draw a chart while notation updates. A printable gauge-specific grid can be colored in another app or on paper and returned as an editable chart. The technique section describes roughly 100 cards; swatches remain on the current browser and device unless exported.
