12. Is C Not A Srry

1. The correct answer is A. at each process. Pressing should be done at each process of garment construction to ensure a professional-looking result. This means that pressing should be done after each step, such as sewing seams or attaching facings.

2. The correct answer is C. beat the fabric fibers before pressing. A wooden clapper is used to beat the fabric fibers before pressing. This helps to flatten and smooth the fabric, as well as create crisper creases.

3. The correct answer is B. stiff canvas would alter the character of the silk garment. Canvas is not a suitable mounting fabric for silk because it is stiff and would alter the soft and flowy nature of the silk fabric. It is important to choose a mounting fabric that complements the characteristics of the main fabric.

4. The correct answer is A. the same color as the fabric color. When purchasing thread for a sewing project, it is best to choose thread that is the same color as the fabric. This will ensure that the thread blends in and is not visible on the finished garment.

5. The correct answer is B. slightly wider than. When purchasing dress fabric, it is best to select material that is slightly wider than shown in the layout on the pattern jacket. This allows for any variations in the fabric width and ensures that you have enough fabric to match the pattern correctly.

6. The correct answer is D. Silk. Silk is one fiber that does not shrink when wet. Wool, cotton, and linen are known to shrink when they come into contact with water.

7. The correct answer is C. Pull out a weft thread and cut along the resulting line. To straighten the cut end of woven fabric before using it for sewing, you can pull out a weft thread (the thread that runs horizontally) and then cut along the resulting line. This ensures a straight edge for accurate sewing.

8. The correct answer is B. fit closely together to save fabric. When paper pattern pieces are dovetailed in a cutting layout, they are placed so that they fit closely together to save fabric. This helps to minimize wastage and make the most efficient use of the fabric.

9. The correct answer is B. colored tracing paper. Trace tacking is made with colored tracing paper. This allows you to temporarily transfer markings from the pattern onto the fabric for sewing guidance.

10. The correct answer is C. Center back seam, shoulder seams, shaping, side seams. When tacking a bodice for a fitting, you should proceed in the order of center back seam, shoulder seams, shaping (such as darts or pleats), and then side seams.

11. The correct answer is C. face make-up in harmonizing colors. It is not necessary for a garment to be fitted while the model is wearing face make-up in harmonizing colors. The other items mentioned - shoes of the proper height, shoulder pads, and suitable foundation garments - can all affect the fit and appearance of the garment.

12. The correct answer is C. three. According to the study unit, the minimum number of fittings for a garment is three. This allows for adjustments to be made during the fitting process to ensure a proper fit.

13. The correct answer is A. darts. A close fit in a garment is often produced by using darts. Darts are folded and stitched areas that help to shape the fabric to fit the contours of the body.

14. The correct answer is B. interfacing. An extra layer of material placed between the garment and the facing to add stiffness and strength is called interfacing. Interfacing is commonly used in areas such as collars, cuffs, and waistbands to provide structure and support.

15. The correct answer is A. yoke. When planning a one-piece facing for the armhole of a sleeveless dress, the grain line of the facing should be taken from the yoke. The yoke is the part of the dress that sits across the shoulders and upper back.

16. The correct answer is A. in a gently curving seam. When joining several pieces of bias binding together to make one long strip, the pieces should be joined in a gently curving seam. This helps to distribute the seam along the bindin
