Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

LMFSF3007B - Lay out patterns and cut fabrics

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Plan work operations

  1. Specifications, patterns and/or plans are read and interpreted to identify required fabrics, number of items to be cut and required equipment
  2. Cutting requirements, including bias or other instructions are noted and required guides on the cutting table are identified
  3. Suitable work area is selected, tidied and cleaned of any contaminants
  4. Appropriate equipment and tools are selected for the fabrics and type of materials
  5. Suitable scissors and/or blades are selected for the fabrics to be cut
  6. Scissors and any other cutting equipment are checked prior to use for appropriate sharpness, set operation and safe condition
  7. Fabrics are selected in accordance with work order and laid out smooth and square

Prepare materials for cutting

  1. Fabrics are inspected for flaws and appropriate finish
  2. Naps, direction of pattern, pattern repeat and finished side of the materials are identified
  3. Fabrics are squared up to the edges or guide markings on the cutting table
  4. Patterns are laid out following work procedures and instructions using registration points on the pattern and other instructions to match required fabric pattern
  5. Measurements are made and appropriate adjustments are made
  6. Tools and equipment are checked for operation

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

Identify materials used and any special handling requirements for those materials

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

Apply safe handling practices for equipment, products and materials

Lay out patterns and cut out at least five different fabric types or pattern styles

Identify materials used and any special cutting requirements

Measure accurately and cut fabrics to required size and accuracy covering at least five different fabric types or pattern styles

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 scissors and tools, 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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

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, coordination 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 and estimate material requirements

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate cutting problems, avoid re-working and wastage

use workplace technology related to the layout out of pattern and cutting fabrics, including tools, equipment, materials and measuring devices

Required knowledge

fabric types, common faults and inspection procedures

design features of the finished furnishing items in relation to laying out the pattern and cutting the fabrics

work requirements, including workplace standards

risks to health from repetitive actions and prevention strategies

Range Statement

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.

Unit scope

This unit covers work involving cutting single or double layer fabrics by hand or automatic method according to required shape or pattern

The unit applies to plain fabrics as well as those which involve matching stripes, checks and pattern repeats

Unit context

OHS requirements may include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous and dangerous goods codes and local safe operating procedures or equivalent

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the cutting of material. This may be demonstrated either individually or in a team environment.

Tools and equipment may include, but are not limited to:

scissors

cutting blades

automatic cutting machines

Materials to be cut may include but are not limited to:

plain and patterned fabric

vinyl and velvet

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices

Information and procedures

Workplace procedures relating to the setting and operation of machinery

Work instructions, including job sheets, patterns, drawings and designs

Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication
