What learners will learn
After going through this module, learners are expected to:
- Identify sewing tools and equipment
- Classify sewing machines
- Select appropriate measuring tools
The competency code printed for Lesson 1 is TLE_HEDM7/8UT-Oa-b-1.
Lessons in this module
- Lesson 1 – Use of Sewing Tools and Equipment. Covers the hand tools used in dressmaking, grouped into measuring, drafting, cutting, and marking tools, plus sewing aids.
- Lesson 2 – Types and Uses of Sewing Machines. Describes eight kinds of sewing machines and what each one is used for.
Tools versus equipment
The module draws a clear line between the two. Sewing tools are handheld devices that help you do a task. Equipment means the machines and power tools needed for a particular job. Choosing both carefully gives better work and longer-lasting results.
The five groups of sewing tools
Measuring tools
Used to measure the body, fabric, seams, and distances.
- Tape measure – takes body measurements and measures distances. It shows 150 centimeters on one side and 60 inches on the other.
- Sewing gauge – measures small areas and short distances such as hem folds, seam allowances, buttonholes, pleats, and tucks.
- Ruler – connects two points to draw straight lines. It is made of clear plastic or shellacked wood.
- Meter stick or yardstick – measures fabric length by the meter or yard.
Drafting tools
Used to draft patterns, draw lines, and shape edges.
- L-square – an aluminum ruler with a 90-degree angle. It draws perpendicular lines and measures parallel lines.
- Hip curve – shapes the hipline and other curved parts of a garment.
- French curve – connects arcs and semi-circles, such as the neckline, armholes, and collar.
Cutting tools
Used to cut fabric, pattern paper, and excess thread.
- Cutting shears – best for cutting fabric. They are usually 7 to 12 inches long.
- Pinking shears – finish seams and raw edges and make decorative edges.
- Scissors – trim excess seam fabric and hanging threads. Types include buttonhole scissors for cutting buttonholes and embroidery scissors, sharp and pointed and 4 to 5 inches long, for fine cloth and thread.
- Seam ripper – removes the stitches of a seam.
- Thread clipper – snips threads only. It is not designed to cut fabric.
Marking tools
Used to transfer pattern markings to fabric.
- Tailor’s chalk – marks the fabric and comes in many colors.
- Tracing wheel – transfers pattern marks to the cloth.
- Dressmaker’s carbon paper – paired with the tracing wheel to transfer marks.
Sewing aids
These make sewing easier and are used when cutting and sewing.
- Pins – fasten two or three materials together and hold cloth in place when cutting.
- Pincushion – holds pins and needles so they do not scatter.
- Hand needles – for temporary stitches, hemming, and other sewing.
- Thimble – a small metal or plastic cup worn on the tip of the middle finger to prevent pricking.
- Threader – helps put the thread through the needle.
Classification of sewing machines
| Machine | What it is used for |
|---|---|
| Lockstitch sewing machine | Stitches light and moderately heavy fabrics. Also called the domestic sewing machine. It is run by foot but can be converted to electric power, and it is common in homes and schools. |
| Hi-speed lockstitch sewing machine | Has automatic lubrication and is used by tailors and dressmakers. Also called a straight stitching or industrial sewing machine. |
| Over edging machine | Finishes the raw edges of material or dresses. |
| Embroidery machine | Makes fancy stitches and patterns to decorate garments, such as designs on quilts, pillows, Barong Tagalog, and linen. |
| Button holer machine | Makes buttonholes on garments. |
| Button attachment machine | Attaches buttons to garments. |
| Double needle machine | Used in making clothing, especially the inseam, outseam, and side seam. |
| Bartacking machine | Reinforces the opening and closing of pockets. |
Activities in the module
- What I Know – a 15-item multiple-choice pretest.
- What’s In: Word Pool – pick the dressmaking tools from a mixed list of Home Economics items. Aim for at least ten correct answers.
- What’s New: Testing My Skills – short questions on tools versus equipment and how tools are classified.
- What’s More – “Pick Me Up” (group 18 tools by class and give their functions), “Fill Me Up” (a crossword on sewing tools), and “What’s My Purpose” (give the use of six sewing machines).
- What I Can Do – draw and label six tools on short bond paper, rated on quality, creativity, and correctness (5 points each). Then practice machine stitching by tracing rectangles, triangles, and ovals on cloth.
- Assessment – a 15-item multiple-choice post-test.
- Additional Activities – a fill-in-the-blocks word puzzle and “Browse Me,” a short research report on sewing machines.
How to use this module
- Learners: Answer What I Know first. If you get 100%, the module says you may skip it. Work through the parts in order and finish each task before moving on. Write your answers in your TLE activity notebook or on a separate sheet, not on the module. Check your work honestly with the answer key, and return the module to your teacher when you are done.
- Parents: Help your child gather simple tools from home, such as a tape measure, ruler, scissors, pins, and needles, so they can see and handle what the module describes. The stitching practice needs a sewing machine and a piece of cloth if one is available.
- Teachers: Orient learners on how to use the module and track their progress. The answer key covers the pretest, the activities, the assessment, and the additional activities. Use the rubric in What I Can Do to rate the drawing task.
