(4)(a) Give the names of the pattern symbols below and state their functions.
(b) State four methods of neatening the raw edge of an open seamObservation
Most of the candidates who attempted this question performed very well. The meanings of pattern symbols were giving correctly. Place on fold indicates that the fabric to be cut should be in one piece, notch indicates matching points when joining two pieces of fabrics together and grain line shows the direction a pattern should be placed on fabric. They also stated methods in (4)(b) correctly as pinking, overcasting, blanket stitch, binding etc.
