Sewing up gains.. NEW YORK, Feb. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ditto™, a joint venture between JOANN (NASDAQ: JOAN) and SINGER®, launched the first-ever digital pattern projection system for home sewists that combines algorithmic intelligence with digital projection to make patterns paperless, customizable, and adaptable to specific body measurements – all in real time. This system is the first evolution of paper patterns since their invention in 1860. The Ditto platform will feature original Ditto patterns and options from major pattern producers.

"Ditto compresses hours into minutes, eliminating the errors, frustration, and time-consuming reality of traditional patterns," said Filippo Robotti, general manager of Ditto and vice president of strategy at SVP Worldwide. "Most importantly, Ditto is a tool to enable creativity. The same technology that accurately and easily projects patterns gives sewists the ability to customize measurements and modify the designs in just a few clicks – a concept that once seemed impossible."

Ditto allows sewists to get to the fun faster. The system:

Creates a custom fit – Pattern dimensions adjust in real time using measurement inputs, reflecting the reality that no two bodies are the same.
Customizes the design – Changing a neckline or sleeve, or flaring a skirt or pant leg are all possible in a few clicks.
Is accurate – Ditto has unmatched precision. Once calibrated, sewists can trust pattern pieces are accurate and ready to cut. Ditto also has a splicing feature to accurately handle pieces that extend beyond the cutting mat.
Simplifies setup – From box opening to patterning in minutes, no tools, mounting, or engineering degrees are needed.
Includes a digital sewing gallery (i.e., pattern library) – Hundreds of customizable Ditto patterns and more from top brands and indie pattern makers will be available at launch, with more added monthly.
Saves paper and the space to store it
Ditto works by attaching a small digital projector to a tension rod, which is set up vertically between the floor and the ceiling. Using the Ditto app, sewists calibrate the projector to the cutting mat within minutes, then choose a pattern on dittopatterns.com, add their measurements, and customize the design and project. It can be set up and taken down quickly and easily.

In solving the challenges of paper patterns, Ditto™ addresses both a top frustration among sewists – 33% rank patterning tasks as their least favorite part of sewing* – and a sizable market opportunity. There are 35 million active sewists in the U.S. and sewing machine sales continue to grow, adding new consumers who are skewing younger. Meanwhile, sewists are going digital with PDF patterns from indie pattern makers.
