Course Outline
Various Sewing Defects: probable causes of sewing defects in samples, outline remedies for
identified sewing defects, and propose preventive measures.
The Overall Assessment of Garment Quality with Respect to Sewing and Assembly: describe
assembly defects caused by error arising in the following- marking cutting, fusing, sewing
operations, under the top pressing and finishing, identify the probable causes of assembly defects,
identify remedies for specific assembly defects.
The Different Methods Used in the Assembly of the Garments: explain the quality of cost
implications of different assemble methods, define quality standard in sub-assembly and final
assembly, and devise inspection method related to quality.
The Importance of Final Pressing Given to Garments: identify machinery in operation (Factory
visits), make reports on equipment used, state the sequence of operations related to specific
garments.
The Peculiar Process on Tailored Garments: explain the functions of thread making, padding, and
stitching, under basting, relate them to tailored garments, make samples in each case.
The Different Methods of Sewing Processes: describe the system of garment manufacture,
distinguish features and uses of various types of machines attachments and work aids, apply
these methods and standards of making garments in relation to quality and price.
