These notes record my tests to attempt to determine the skill level of the various grades of material. I will make one boot of all the grades at various skill levels and record the initial chance, initial quality (if succeeded). This seems to be showing a pattern that will hopefully fillout
| Material | Results |
| Cotton cloth | 100%/109q, 98%,111q |
| Heavy Cotton cloth | 100%/100q, 97%,104q |
| Linen cloth | 100%/89q, 91q, 92q, 93q |
| Heavy Linen cloth | 100%/77q,,84q, 89q, 94q |
| Silk cloth | 20%/fail |
| Heavy Silk cloth |
| Material | Results | |
| Cotton cloth | 100%/119q, 122q, 125q | |
| Heavy Cotton cloth | 100%/110q, 111q, 114q | |
| Linen cloth | 100%/100q, 105q, 111q, 112q | |
| Heavy Linen cloth | 100%/90q | |
| Silk cloth | 54%/75q, 76q | |

The first two test suggest that cotton cloth, heavy cotton cloth, linen cloth and heavy linen cloth are all 25 skill points apart.
