In the context of pattern design with CAD software, a question on a form asks: Le modeliste maîtrise-t-il les outils de mariage et de balustrage?
Sorry, no other context or clues.
I've found "balustering" as a translation for balustrage, but I'm not really sure what they're referring to. The only definition I found related to furniture or stairs, not "couture." Thank you!

: Although I'm not familiar with "balustrage" in this context, the idea of walking pieces seems appropriate, especially as "mariage" is also used. See under F8 here: http://www.e-tutorial.eu/?q=modarisMenusP3

Very relevant find, Wordeffect! It is indeed a set of specialized terms: marry, divorce, etc.!

Comment: "I translated this part of the sentence as "marriage and walking tools." Your link helped me understand a bit more about the process involved and how they "walk" patterns around the screen. Thanks SO much!"

... there was a previous Kudoz question in French to German, but the question was closed without grading ("no acceptable answer"). However the discussion might give some useful insights.
