"Heather has won a client for life in me. She took on my first garment pattern, with a full nine sizes, and was endlessly patient answering my endless questions. What I appreciated in particular is her willingness to walk me through any changes, explaining why she was making the change and how it would result in a better end product, accessible to a wider range of knitters. I deeply appreciate her ability to catch every tiny detail -- and her sense of humour! I came away a better designer as a result of working with Heather, and cannot recommend her highly enough to other knitwear designers."

"Heather is a fantastic tech editor to work with. Her grading and editing is excellent, and she communicates clearly through the whole process. Never once have I felt dumb asking her questions or double checking work, which is a must for an anxious designer like me! I'm so glad to have found an editor who puts me at ease, is logical about her work, and who communicates promptly and efficiently."
- Dora Violet, Witching Hour Knits
"I recently had the pleasure of Heather tech editing my mittens pattern. All of her formatting suggestions were spot on & improved the aesthetics & format consistency. She also double checked all the math & gave me confidence in making the pattern more polished. Even if you do your own edit, I highly recommend having Heather double check your patterns!"

"Heather provided wonderful service as a technical editor. Her turnaround time prompt and on schedule as quoted. She also returned my queries for information in a very timely manner. She pointed out differences between my pattern and my newly minted style sheet (which I'm still becoming accustomed to). It's helpful to understand the difference between errors and suggestions, so that in future I can avoid the same errors and other inconsistencies in my patterns. I would highly recommend her services."
"Heather proved to be a great tech editor when working on my recent pattern. She spotted a crucial error and made helpful suggestions. Especially her proofreading skills are very much appreciated.

Thank you very much for your help!"
