EQUIPMENT

3. Objectives:
At the end of this lesson, 90% of the students will be

Classified sewing tools and the equipment needed for each of
the processes of sewing.
Give the uses of the sewing tools and the equipment.

4. 5 Basic sewing Tools:
• Measuring Tools
• Cutting Tools
• Marking Tools
• Hand and Machine Sewing
Tools
• Pressing Tools

5. Measuring Tools
1. Tape measure – a material that will
not stretch but has the flexibility to
take body measurement
2. Ruler – is needed for measuring
curved edge, like the arms eye
seams and neckline seams.
3. Measuring Stick- is for marking
straight long lines.

7. 4. L square- used for dividing
measurements and lines.
5. Standard French Curve- used for
shaping the neck lines, armholes
and collars.
6. Sewing Gauge- metal ruler with a
sliding marker. It is convenient for
measuring hems, buttonholes, and
pleats.

9. Cutting Tools
1. Scissors/Shears- scissors have both
handles of the same size while shears
have one handle larger than the other.
2. Seam ripper- it removes stitches
3. Stitch ripper- used to cut stitches
4. Pinking shears- used to form fray-
resistant edges.

11. Marking Tools
1. Dressmaker’s carbon - Used for
transferring pattern markings to all
types of fabric
2. Tracing wheel- used with a
dressmaker’s carbon to transfer
pattern marking to the wrong side of
the fabric.
3. Tailor’s chalk- used for transferring
pattern markings to the fabric.

13. 4. Seam marker- used for making seam
allowances.
5. Dressmaker pencil- used to make
fine lines on fabric. It has an erasing
brush at one end.
6. Liquid marking pen- is used for
marking. The mark disappears after
48 hours.

15. Stitching Tools and Accessories
1. Sewing machine- most important
piece of equipment for stitching.
2. Needles- come in various size,
lengths, and point shapes for
different uses.
There are two general classifications of
needles, namely, a.needles for sewing machine
stitching and b.needles for hand stitching.

17. There are different kinds of hand
needles, such as the following:
Sharp needle- all-purpose and
medium- length needle.
Crewel needle- is sharp and of
medium length used for
embroidery.
Milliner or Straw- used for long
basting. They are long with rounded
eyes.

18. 3. Pins – are available in various
thicknesses, lengths and are made of brass,
stainless steel or nickel-plated steels.
There are different kinds of pins, such as:
Dressmaker’s pins which are 1 ½ inches (2.6
cm) long and are used for general sewing.
Lace pins, or pleating pins which are 1 inch (2.5
cm) long are used for pinning delicate fabrics
to indicate seam allowance.
Glass headed pins which have a colored ball
heads, are easy to handle but are generally
expensive.

19. 4. Thimble- used to protect the middle
finger as you do hand sewing.
5. Pin cushion – used to store pins
safely.
6. Emery bag/pack- has an abrasive
material inside to clean and sharpen
needles and pins.

21. 7. Needle threader- makes the
threading of hand and machine
needles easier.
8. Thread – should be of high quality.
The color of the thread should be
the same as that of the fabric.
9. Bee wax- makes the thread stronger
and prevents tangling for hand
sewing.

22. Needle threader
1. Place the Wire Through the Eye of the Needle.
2. Place the Thread in the Wire.
3. Pull the Thread Through the Eye of the Needle.

23. Pressing Tools
is the secret to a perfectly finished
garment. The essential pressing tools
are a sturdy ironing board, a steam
iron and pressing cloth.

24. Developing Mastery
Class Activity:
This is a group activity. Each group has time to
participate. The members of the group will fall in line in
front of the class.
Game: Sewing tools are placed in a box and laid in
assortment. Students will place the tools accordingly in
the provided boxes labeled measuring tools, cutting
tools, marking tools, stitching/sewing tools and
pressing tools. The fastest group with the most number
of correct tools placed in the appropriate boxes wins.

25. Class Activity:
Graded recitation: Sewing tools are placed
all together in a box and laid in assortment.
Each student in a participating group will be
blindfolded. A student will get a tool and
describe the uses and functions of the tool
taken from the box. Then, the student will
place the tool in the appropriate box.
*Remember to limit your time during the activity.

26. Application in Daily Living:
Sewing is enjoyable and
fun, especially when it is
done using the appropriate
tools for the job. It can be a
productive hobby and also a
profitable livelihood.
