With the basic outline of our pattern ready, now would be a good time
|
||||
to test it to see how well it adapts to different measurements,
|
||||
and the range of options we provided.

|
||||
###### No more grading
|
||||
|
||||
FreeSewing patterns are _made-to-measure_, which means that you don't need to
|
||||
grade your pattern to provide a range of sizes. You should sample your pattern
|
||||
for different measurements and options to see how well it adapts.
|
||||
|
||||
</Tip>
|
||||
|
||||
If testing your pattern sounds like a lot of work, you're in luck. FreeSewing can do it
|
||||
for you. Click the **Test Design** link in the sidebar under the **View** title.
|
||||
|
||||
You have a number of ways to test your pattern:
|
||||
|
||||
- Test design options
|
||||
- Test measurements
|
||||
- Test models
|
||||
|
||||
The [API docs on sampling](/reference/api/pattern/sample) have all the details
|
||||
on how this works, but for now we'll just look at the end result of each of
|
||||
these.
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing pattern options
|
||||
|
||||
We used percentage options, which can vary between their minimum and maximum
|
||||
value. For these tests, FreeSewing will divide that range into 10 steps and
|
||||
draft your pattern for each step.
|
||||
|
||||
Click on any of the options we've added to our pattern, and your bib will be
|
||||
drawn with that option sampled.
|
||||
|
||||
### lengthRatio
|
||||
|
||||
The `lengthRatio` option controls the length of our bib. Testing it confirms
|
||||
that it only influences the length:
|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
### neckRatio
|
||||
|
||||
The `neckRatio` option will determine the size of the neck opening. For a the
|
||||
same `head` measurement, varying this option should result in bibs with
|
||||
increasingly larger neck opening.
|
||||
|
||||
Testing it confirms this. We can also see that as the neck opening gets
|
||||
smaller, we will rotate the straps further out of the way to avoid overlap:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### widthRatio
|
||||
|
||||
The `widthRatio` option will determine the width of our bib. For the same
|
||||
`head` measurement, varying this option should result in increasingly wider
|
||||
bibs.
|
||||
|
||||
If we test it, we can see that it works as intended. But there's one thing that
|
||||
perhaps requires your attention. Making the bib wider shortens the length from
|
||||
the bottom of the neck opening to the bottom of the bib. Thereby making the
|
||||
bib shorter when it's worn.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<Note>
|
||||
|
||||
Even if the _total length_ of the bib stays the same, the _useable length_
|
||||
shortens when the bib is made wider. Users will not expect this, so it's
|
||||
something that we should fix in our pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
Adjusting the pattern to make the `widthRatio` not influence the _useable
|
||||
length_ of the bib is not covered in this tutorial. It is left _as an exercise
|
||||
to the reader_.
|
||||
|
||||
</Note>
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing measurements
|
||||
|
||||
Testing a measurement will vary that measurement 10% up or down while leaving
|
||||
everything else the same. This gives you the option to determine how any given
|
||||
measurement is influencing the pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
For our bib, we only use one measurement, so it influences the entire pattern.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Testing models
|
||||
|
||||
Whereas testing a measurement will only vary one individual measurement,
|
||||
testing models will draft your pattern for different sets of measurements, which
|
||||
we refer to as _models_.
|
||||
|
||||
On the surface, the result below is the same as our measurement test. But that
|
||||
is because our bib only uses one measurement. So testing that one measurement
|
||||
ends up being the same as testing a complete set of measurements.
|
||||
|
||||
But most patterns use multiple measurements, and you'll find this test gives
|
||||
you insight into how your pattern will adapt to differently sized bodies.

## The antperson test
|
||||
|
||||
A special case of model testing is the so-called _antperson test_. It drafts
|
||||
your pattern with a set of _typical_ measurements , and then drafts it again
|
||||
with measurements that are 1/10th of those _typical_ measurements.
|
||||
|
||||
It is named after [the cartoon
|
||||
character](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant-Man_\(film\)) who can shrink, yet
|
||||
somehow his suit still fits.
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose of the antperson test is to bring out areas in your pattern where
|
||||
you made assumptions that will not properly scale. Many drafting books will
|
||||
tell you to _add 3 cm there_ or _measure 2 inch to the right_. Those
|
||||
instructions don't scale, and you should avoid them.
|
||||
|
||||
The best patterns will pass the antperson test with 2 patterns exactly the
|
||||
same, where one will simply be 1/10th the scale of the other.
|
||||

||||
|
||||
When you're happy with how your pattern passes these tests, it's time to
|
||||
complete our design.
