Differentiation and assessment
Pupils needing extra support
Use fabric glue to keep the appliqué still while the pupils sew around the edges, allowing them to focus on the sewing. Provide a scrap piece of material to practise attaching a bead or other embellishment before attempting to attach it to their collar. Similarly, with pinking to create a zig-zag or scalloped edge.
Pupils working at greater depth
Encourage pupils to strive for a high-quality finish, meaning accurate, consistent stitches; no gaps in appliqué application and smoothly cut. Prompt pupils to think about how the quality of finish could affect the product’s lifespan. For example, if appliqué is attached securely with no gaps, it is less likely to get caught during use and fall off.
