Honestly, I tried drafting a sleeve pattern with a 1:1 scale vs a 1:2 scale and the difference was huge.

Wait, hold on... I'm pretty sure a 1:2 scale means half size, not just smaller details. So the real problem is that tiny errors get doubled when you scale back up. That's why the sleeve looked so different. It's not just missing details, it's math that multiplies every little mistake. Makes me nervous about any pattern I haven't tested full scale first.

It's wild how much detail gets lost in the smaller scale. Makes you wonder how many patterns have hidden issues that only show up full size.

Our last prototype had a 2mm seam error that only showed at full scale.
