Proofs and worksheets

Proofs are for approval. Worksheets are for sewing.

Some proof and worksheet features are planned. The design rule is stable: review data and production data must come from the same project version.

Proofs​

A proof should show enough information for review without exposing the editable source project by default.

Useful proof content:

  • realistic preview;
  • dimensions;
  • hoop;
  • fabric note;
  • thread list;
  • colorway choices;
  • comments;
  • approval state;
  • warnings that affect the reviewer.

A screenshot is not a proof. It loses context.

Comments and approvals​

Comments should attach to a specific target when possible:

  • whole proof;
  • object;
  • timeline step;
  • warning;
  • worksheet note.

Approval should record the project version. If the project changes later, the old approval should still point to what was actually approved.

Worksheets​

A worksheet is the machine-table document. It should be printable and readable on a phone.

Useful worksheet content:

  • project name and version;
  • preview image;
  • machine format;
  • hoop and dimensions;
  • stitch count;
  • thread order;
  • stops and trims;
  • appliqué steps;
  • fabric and stabilizer notes;
  • unresolved warnings;
  • QR or link when sharing is enabled.

At the machine​

The worksheet should read in sew order. The person at the machine needs the next thread, the next stop, and the next human action. Long prose is less useful than a correct sequence.
