Observation

 

 

Majority of the candidates did not answer these questions not because the questions were difficult, but there was total negligence to the study and practice of basic processes.
The expected answers are:

  • Place two pieces of fabric with right sides facing.
  • Pin, tack and stitch on the fitting line as shown in the diagram I.
  • Press, open on the wrong side and neatened as shown in the diagram II.
