New tartan design tool feedback

Thanks again guys.

I've renamed Herringbone as I've clearly misunderstood it, and re-implemented Basketweave.

Yes the format in those books does look particularly good for comparison, though this isn't really a comparison tool. Additionally it is actually represented in the strip above the ruler, so you could just ignore the intersecting preview if you explicitly wanted to focus on that style of stripped down view.

Would you mind sharing the technologies you used to build this? I'm a software engineer so I'm interested in this sort of thing.

Sure, it's almost entirely just custom Javascript (JQuery) and a few minor third party Javascript libraries for some components like colour picking. The fabric preview is drawn in a HTML canvas, generated in a tiling manner and tiled as a repeating pattern.
