Classify yarn types (staple vs filament, single, plied, fancy) and explain how twist direction and amount affect fabric hand.

Compare plain, twill and satin weaves and knitted structures by appearance, stretch, durability and shrinkage behaviour.

Identify the common dyeing and finishing stages (scouring, bleaching, mercerising, printing, calendering) and the property each one changes.

Read a care label and fibre-content tag and justify the recommended washing, drying and ironing conditions.

Take a full set of body measurements on a live model and record them on a standard measurement chart with correct landmarks.

Draft a basic bodice block to individual measurements, including darts, seam allowance and grainline.

Draft a basic sleeve block and check sleeve cap ease against armhole measurement.

Apply the principles of dart manipulation (pivot and slash methods) to move a bust dart to a new position.

Add seam allowance, notches, drill holes and labelling to a finished pattern set.

Grade a bodice block from base size to two adjacent sizes using the incremental method, keeping grade rules consistent at each cardinal point.

Set up and thread an industrial single-needle lockstitch machine, and adjust stitch length, tension and presser foot pressure on a scrap sample.

Sew and press the standard seam types: plain, French, flat-fell and overlocked, and state where each is appropriate.

Insert a centred and a concealed zip, and attach a waistband with a clean finish.

Diagnose three common stitching faults (puckering, skipped stitches, uneven tension) and correct each on the machine.

Construct a complete bodice with darts, set-in sleeve, neckline facing and invisible zip within a timed session.

Apply interfacing correctly to facings and collars and explain fusible vs sew-in choice.

Sew a two-piece collar and a cuff with placket, and press each to a professional standard.

Finish hems by machine, blind stitch and hand slip stitch, and select the right one for a given fabric.

Carry out a final garment inspection and record any construction defects against a checklist.

Sequence a garment production line into operations and allocate them across a small team, calculating the bottleneck operation.

Compute SAM-based capacity and daily output targets for a given line and identify where work-in-progress will build up.

Apply the 4-point and 10-point fabric inspection systems to a fabric lot and calculate the acceptable quality level result.

Explain AQL sampling, lot acceptance and rejection, and demonstrate how to read an AQL table for a stated lot size.

List the checks in in-line, end-line and final inspection and state the defect class (critical, major, minor) for given examples.

Calculate fabric consumption for curtains, bed linen and cushion covers from finished dimensions, including repeat, hems and shrinkage allowance.

Draft and sew a lined curtain panel with a pencil-pleat heading and mitred corners.

Construct a fitted bed sheet and a pillow cover with an envelope or zip closure to standard seam and hem allowances.

Select appropriate fabrics and trims for table linen, upholstery and kitchen textiles and justify each choice by durability and care.

Cost a home furnishing set by material, labour and wastage to arrive at a per-piece price.

Build a full cost sheet for a garment style covering fabric, trims, labour, overheads, rejection allowance and margin, and set an FOB price.

Identify the statutory and safety requirements for a small stitching unit, including fire safety, electrical safety and machine guarding.

Demonstrate correct posture, needle-guard use and safe handling practice at the sewing machine, and list first-aid steps for a needle prick injury.

Explain ergonomic risk factors in cutting and pressing sections and propose one control for each.

Outline a simple marketing mix (product, price, place, promotion) for a small apparel or home furnishing brand.

Write a covering letter and a CV tailored to a garment technician or QC assistant vacancy, keeping both to one page.

Answer five common interview questions aloud, including one technical question on fabric or quality control, in under two minutes each.

Explain a technical process to a non-technical listener using plain language, and give and receive feedback on a peer's explanation.

Complete two timed full-length mock tests across all domains and review every wrong answer to its source concept.

Summarise the 15 highest-risk facts across fibres, grading, construction and AQL on a single revision sheet.
