The time it takes me to edit your pattern depends on how much work I have and also on the pattern I have to edit.

I will give you an approximate deadline for editing, usually no more than 7 working days. It is important that we have a good communication, in case I need to do some consultation, otherwise it could delay the work.

When it is ready and I give it to you, it is your turn to fix all the mistakes and get the pattern ready to publish. You can send it to me for a last quick reading before publishing it, free of charge.

The technical editing cost depends on how many hours it takes, with a minimum cost of 1 hour.

The total time depends on the complexity of the pattern, how long it is and how many sizes it is (if it is a sized garment).

When you contact me and I see the pattern I can give you an estimate of the time and I will keep you updated on what I am using if you need it.

When I finish the editing I will send you a report of the time and the total cost of the editing.

You can pay by PayPal or by credit card. Just tell me how you think is most convenient for you and I will give you more details.

The payment is made half upon acceptance of the budget and the other half upon delivery of the work.
