How a pattern earns a StashMuse listing.
Automation helps collect and structure information. Publication still requires a source check, useful context, and a page that adds more than a copied description.
Source checks
Fabric quantities, size, price status, and video availability are checked against the designer, publisher, or retailer page linked in the listing. Each page shows the most recent check date. The creator’s instructions always control.
What StashMuse adds
A listing must add an independent match note, normalize stash formats, identify extra yardage, and explain who the project is likely to suit. Thin pages created only to capture a keyword are not published.
Images and copyright
Pattern construction text and creator photography are not copied. StashMuse uses original code-generated layout illustrations until explicit image permission is obtained.
AI-assisted work
Language models may assist with research, categorization, first drafts, internal links, and validation. They are not treated as a source. Facts that affect cutting, safety, service requirements, or purchasing must be traceable to a linked current source or clearly framed as a decision to verify.
Scaled journal safeguards
The journal is built from distinct search questions rather than keyword permutations. Automated validation requires substantial article depth, unique answers and decision checks, working internal structure, and a similarity ceiling designed to reject near-duplicate bodies before publication.
Commercial relationships
Affiliate links and paid placements will be labeled where they appear. Payment cannot buy a higher editorial match score or hide a material requirement.
Corrections
If a requirement is wrong or a source has changed, email hello@stashmuse.com with the page and correction. Material errors are prioritized over new publishing.
