Many of the candidates described the use of a seam in question 3a very well but could not state the points to consider when choosing seams. This made them to lose marks. In question 3b (i), only few candidates mentioned the examples of self neatened seams correctly. In question3c (ii) many of them suggested the garment were neatened seam can be made, instead of the position where self- neatened seams can be made. They did not answer the question well. In 3c they could not draw the diagram correctly and only few candidates listed the ways of neatening an open seam.
