LESSON 4: MAINTAINING RECORDS OF SEWING MACHINE IN GOOD

CONDITION

WHAT IS THIS LESSON ABOUT?

The lesson deals with the importance of recording, record and report on the

set up sewing machines.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

1. discuss the importance of recording ; and

2. prepare records and reports on the set sewing machine.

Quality is of prime importance in any aspect of business. Customers

demand and expect value for money. As producers of apparel there must be

a constant endeavour to produce work of good quality. This quality is

usually checked by the systems of recording whether in machines, material

and operators. As a future producer of clothes you should know the

importance of recording.

Fault – something is wrong with the machine,

system, design etc, which prevents it from

working properly.

Stitch length – the length of each individual

stitch.

Tension – the force that is applied by machine on

your thread.

Trend – a general tendency in the way a situation

is changing or developing.

Vital – extremely important and necessary for

something to succeed or exist.

4

The following are importance of recording:

1. It provides solutions to a problem.

2. It gives information for tracing the trend to the source.

3. It gives information on consistently unsatisfactory machines.

4. It provides vital information for without it, it’s impossible to know the

situation at any given time and so make sound decisions.

Record Matrix Form

A record matrix form is a form to be completed after setting the

machine. It may involve adjustments on the stitch length, tension and

attachments included in the accomplishment of the project/activity to be

done.

Contents of the Record Matrix

1. Date – the day when the sewing machine is set.

2. Project Title – correct name / agreed name of the project.

3. Machine Number – the assigned number of the sewing machine.

4. Adjustments and Attachments – includes the tension, stitch length,

thread use and number of the needle.

5. Remarks – the conditions of the sewing machine after setting.

6. Student – name of student who used and set the sewing machine.

Problems / faults encountered during machine operation are recorded on a

separate form called Fault Analysis Card. Let us discuss what Fault Analysis

Card is.

5

Fault Analysis Card

It is a description of all faults in a project / activity, which you are

expected to recognize and take action upon whether to report, correct or

return.

Two Categories of Fault

1. General Fault – those resulting from machine or operative defects,

such as:

a. Incorrect threading

b. Slipped stitches

c. Bad tension

d. Seam breaking away

2. Job Fault – those which occur specifically in the operation being

studied, for example: a. step joins

b. pleats

c. wrong measurements

d. wrong patterns

Fault Analysis Card should have the following:

1. Fault – correct name/agreed name.

2. Appearance – clear description or an example attached.

3. Cause – the entire main cause. For example: incorrect machine

setting.

4. Effect – result of the fault.

5. Action – the action to be carried out on the discovery of the fault.

For example: replace. Re-sew, reject, ripped and report to teacher.

6. Prevention – any action which can or should be taken to avoid a

recurrence of the fault and it should be recorded. For example:

check tensions and stitches on every operation.

An example is presented below.
