Preview Questions Sample Maker | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: How do you ensure accuracy when working with fabrics that have stretch properties for pattern making?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By adjusting patterns to account for the fabric's stretch, adding the correct seam allowances, and testing fit

By using a fixed pattern and assuming the fabric will stretch as needed

By stretching the fabric during the cutting process without adjusting the pattern

By ignoring the stretch factor and using standard measurements

Question 2: When constructing a garment, how does a sample maker handle the fabric's grainline to ensure optimal fit and durability?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Grainline affects only the aesthetic, not fit or durability

The grainline must be followed accurately to ensure the fabric behaves as expected and provides the desired fit

The grainline can be adjusted according to design without concern for fit

The grainline should be ignored to save time and reduce fabric waste

Question 3: How does fabric stretch recovery influence garment construction, and what should a sample maker consider when working with fabrics like spandex or lycra?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Fabrics with low stretch recovery need extra pattern adjustments for fit, while high recovery fabrics are more forgiving

Low stretch fabrics are ideal for creating fitted garments

Stretch recovery only impacts the garment's aesthetic, not its fit

Stretch recovery is irrelevant, as the fabric can be stretched in any direction

Question 4: How do you ensure proper fabric handling during the sample-making process to prevent issues like fabric distortion or shrinkage?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By cutting fabric directly without checking for shrinkage

By pre-washing the fabric, testing for shrinkage, and handling with care according to fabric type

By focusing only on the aesthetic, ignoring handling instructions

By assuming all fabrics behave the same during construction

Question 5: How does a sample maker ensure accuracy in sample production, especially when working with complex designs?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By following the pattern specifications precisely, measuring carefully, and conducting fitting tests

By rushing to complete the sample without checking for errors

By improvising with the fabric and making adjustments as needed

By skipping fitting tests and relying on the pattern measurements

Question 6: What is the significance of topstitching in garment construction, and where should it be used for both functional and aesthetic purposes?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Topstitching is a technique to be avoided to save time and reduce costs

Topstitching is used for both decorative and functional purposes, such as reinforcing seams and adding a design element

Topstitching should be used only on collars and cuffs

Topstitching should only be used for decoration and is unnecessary for functionality
