Dressmaker Build 410 patch: sketchbook, spools and panel hints
Explore the official Build 410 usability improvements: clickable component names, thread-colour selection, panel placement hints and a tutorial softlock fix.
Official record. Reviewed 9 October 2026.
What was added or clarified?
| Feature | How the patch describes it |
|---|---|
| Component selection | More obvious clickable names in the sketchbook |
| Sewing thread | Colour selection through thread spools |
| Panel placement | Inventory hover hint for mannequin position |
Which issues were fixed?
The patch prevents the cutting-room mouse wheel from rotating panels when the pointer is over inventory. It also fixes a tutorial softlock caused by entering the sketchbook before interacting with the bell.
How can you use the changes?
When unsure what to click, inspect component names. When a piece seems unfamiliar, hover it in inventory. When a seam is hard to see, consider another thread colour. The first two help navigation and the last is a visibility suggestion; the patch does not publish a score bonus for colour choices.
Is this a complete latest-build statement?
No. It is the named patch found in the official records reviewed on 9 October. Check the game and official feed for later builds rather than inferring a version from a wiki title.
What should you read next?
- Sketchbook, pattern selection and design planning
- Sewing assist, seam reset and thread colour
- Missing panels and a dress that will not finish
