Observation
2a was well answered by the candidates. Many of them were able to explain the ways to care for the sewing machine correctly. The candidates performed very badly in 2b. They could not mention the groups of permanent stitches. Only very few candidates mentioned decorative stitches but could not identify joining and neatening as group of permanent stitches.
