Intended Learning Outcomes:
Students will write down the rules and understand why they are necessary. Instructional Procedures:
- Pass out the worksheets while explaining that the sooner students learn these rules, the easier time they will have sewing.
- Discuss rules, explaining why they are important. Give examples when possible. For example, use your hand as a pressure foot to show how it moves a piece of paper (fabric) through the sewing machine.
- It is also helpful to have students make hand motions. For example, lifting the presser foot, turning the handwheel towards you, etc.
- Have students demonstrate what they've learned by practicing on crazy stitching or sewing a simple project such as a bookmark.
- Review as often as necessary until students learn the procedures.
