Evidently you've taken this class online, rather than in person.

It hasn't worked. You are not ready to be a professional tailor or seamstress.

You have only 3 correct answers >> 4, 5, 6.

1. Unless the dress is for a very small woman and the skirt is very tight, you'll need two widths for the skirt.

2. Most patterns call for one width for each sleeve.

3. I'm not sure about this one. But you should preshrink it the same way you expect it will be washed. The safest way is C.

7. I don't know what a "jetted" buttonhole is. However, either A or D is probably the best. Try it with a piece of nylon.

8. Extra stitches won't eliminate the strain on the fabric.

9. How can you alter the pattern by following the markings on the pattern piece?

10. Try it. Which fabric can be pleated best?

I think answer's are.

1) D
2) A
3) D
4) A
5) C
6) not sure
7) D
8) A
9) B or D ( not sure)
10) B
