Linings to be bagged are sewn in place
Machine sewing operations are completed correctly
Corners are folded and formed to match work order requirements, inserting any required weight bags
Hems are completed using any required weights, stitch type and appropriate sewing method
Corners are stitched and finished, trimming any threads
Element: Construct curtain headings
Curtain heading tape is attached according to workplace approved method and job instructions
Attached lining and interlinings are sewn into heading
Sewn pleat spaces are kept uniform within drops
Linings and interlinings are attached to curtain backs by sewing or using appropriate fasteners
Care labels are fixed to heading or hem of curtain according to workplace standards
Separate linings are sewn using appropriate heading tape and attached to curtain
Element: Finish work
Finished curtain panels, including stitch length, end finishing and final length of finished curtain panels are checked against work requirements
Work is pressed for the next work stage
Any parts of the work which do not comply with work order are repaired
Element: Complete work for next process
Workplace required documentation is completed and stored following appropriate procedures
Finished work is folded, protected and dispatched to next process following workplace procedures
Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence
Apply safe handling practices for equipment, products and materials
Interpret work order to manufacture the required lined curtains
Identify materials used and any special sewing requirements for those materials
Measure accurately
Construct at least two different types of lined curtains/drapes
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:
minimise the risk of injury to self and others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Work effectively with others
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment
Report process or materials faults, damaged products or equipment
Resource implications
Appropriate sewing machine, fabrics, work order, workplace information, including work procedures and/or equipment instructions.
Method of assessment
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.
Assessment should be conducted over time and will generally be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.
Context of assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills
collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, plans and safety procedures
communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, co-ordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems
plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage
work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using co-operative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity
use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area, avoid waste and estimate material requirements
use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate construction problems, avoid re-working and wastage
use the limited workplace technology related to the construction tasks, including tools, equipment, calculators and measuring devices
Required knowledge
identification of workplace standards, equipment and procedures for the sewing operations
fabric types, lining and interlining materials, including common faults and inspection procedures
prevention strategies for risks to health from lifting, stretching and repetitive actions
how the design features of the curtains effect constructing the lined curtains
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
