Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support
Could use the Activity: Appliqué templates (support) sheets to practise from or use in their final design; could use fabric glue to keep the appliqué still while they sew around the edges; could use scrap material to practise attaching a bead or other embellishment before attempting to attach it to their collar; could use scrap material to practise pinking to create a zig-zag or scalloped edge.
Pupils working at greater depth
Should be encouraged to strive for a high-quality finish with accurate, consistent stitches, smoothly cut appliqué with no gaps; could think about how the quality of finish could affect the product’s lifespan during evaluation (e.g., if appliqué is attached securely with no gaps, it is less likely to get caught during use and fall off).
