What does PLACE ON FOLD mean?

On the self-tie sheet it marks the centre of the strip. Place that line on the fold of your fabric before you cut.

How do I choose the neck size?

The neck size range is written along the band of the self-tie sheet. Measure your neck and choose the matching size.

Is the pre-tied bow adjustable?

Yes. Its neck strap is drawn with the hook placement marked.

Can I ask for velvet or a baby bow tie?

Yes, by typing it as a direction. That is a request; the nine pictures show the three ties above.

A self-tie bow tie is one long shaped strip sewn and turned, and a pre-tied bow tie is a bow, a knot band and a neck strap. These are pattern sheets with those pieces drawn to size, fold lines dotted and the neck size written along the strip. The three are a self-tie with butterfly ends, a pre-tied bow, and a children's bow tie. Type a different size or style and it is a request, not a guaranteed picture.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
