It looks like you have answered most of the questions correctly. Let's go through each question and its explanation:

1. Now that Mrs. Shotto has lost weight, what pattern size would be a better fit?
Answer: A. Misses' size 10
Explanation: Since Mrs. Shotto's bust measurement is now 32 inches instead of 34 inches, a Misses' size 10 would be a better fit as it typically corresponds to a smaller bust measurement.

2. The blouse pattern is no longer available for purchase. In any case, Mrs. Shotto's measurements are only one inch smaller, and you can adjust patterns up to two inches. To accommodate her smaller waist, therefore, you alter the pattern by:
Answer: A. reducing the side seams by 1/2 in.
Explanation: Since the pattern can be adjusted up to two inches, and Mrs. Shotto's waist is one inch smaller, reducing the side seams by 1/2 inch would be an appropriate alteration.

3. What type of sewing machine thread would you choose to sew the blouse?
Answer: B. Extra-fine polyester
Explanation: Extra-fine polyester thread is suitable for lightweight and delicate fabrics like silk, making it a good choice for sewing the blouse.

4. What size needle would you select for the sewing machine?
Answer: D. 11/75
Explanation: A smaller needle size, such as 11/75, is appropriate for lightweight fabrics like silk as it helps prevent snags and puckering.

5. What type of seam would be most suitable for the selected fabric?
Answer: B. Open
Explanation: An open seam allows the fabric to lay flat and reduces bulk, making it suitable for lightweight fabrics like silk.

6. You're repairing an armhole seam in a turtleneck used primarily for skiing. The stitching has come loose because of the extra arm movement. What type of hand stitch do you use?
Answer: A. Backstitch
Explanation: Backstitching creates a secure and durable seam, making it suitable for repairing a seam that experiences extra movement.

7. If your sewing machine were skipping stitches, what would you check first?
Answer: B. Needle setting
Explanation: The needle setting might be the cause of skipped stitches, so it is recommended to check the needle to ensure it is properly inserted and not bent or worn out.

8. You find that your stitching distance from the edge of the fabric isn't very consistent. Which attachment could you add to your machine to solve the problem?
Answer: B. Overedge foot
Explanation: An overedge foot can help guide the fabric and ensure consistent stitching distance from the edge.

9. How do you secure the beginning and end of every seam?
Answer: C. Back-tack three stitches at each end.
Explanation: Back-tacking secures the beginning and end of a seam by stitching a few stitches forward and then back over the same stitches, creating a secure anchor point.

10. If, while you're machine stitching, your fabric puckers and the stitches break, what should you do first?
Answer: C. Lower the tension.
Explanation: Lowering the tension on the sewing machine can help reduce fabric puckering and prevent stitches from breaking, so it would be the first thing to try in this situation.
