The program is for in-school youth possessing acedemic, socio-economic, or other handicaps which prevent them from succeeding in traditional educational endeavors. The program includes vocational instruction that provides opportunities of achievinga saleable vocational skill and modified academic instruction that provides basic knowledge in the fields of mathematics, science, English, and social studies. The dual-phase approach enables students enrolled to reach maximum personal development, including employment potential, within their abilities in the shortest possible time. The program must be supported by a specialized guidance and counseling program." "Coordinated vocational-academic education is designed for the following purposes: To provide students with education preparing them for gainful employment in jobs requiring semi-skilled knowledge and training. To prepare students, when feasible, for entry intoa regular high school vocational program preparing for gainful employment. To provide students with an academic curriculum, that departs from traditional content and methods of teaching, ata level where students can succeed."' CVAE Clothing Services is designed for use in teaching the clothing phase of General Home and Community Services at the junioror senior high school level or in teaching Commercial Clothing at the high school level. Although the materials were designed specifically for CVAE Programs, they should be equally useful to teachers of Pre-employment Laboratory Training Programs, Vocational Education for the Handicapped, Home Economics Cooperative Ed- ucation, and adult vocational education programs. The following concepts are included: job opportunities in clothing services, sewing tools and equipment, sewing skills, custom clothing construction, assembly line production, alteration and repair, laundering anddry cleaning, and packing and storing clothes. The information included in this publication is presented in three sections. Section One includes an overview fonreparing teachers to teach CVAEstudents; suggestions for planning teaching, and evaluating CVAEprograms; and suggestions for using this guide.

Emphasis is placed on learning correct names of tools and equipment and of parts essential in operation of them. The student learns when to use each tool or piece of equipment, how to use it safely and correctly, how to care for it, and where to store it. Basic sewing skills are essential in several jobs in clothing services (alterations, dressmaking, and industrial sewing).

  • INSTRUCTIONS for USING the GREIST ZIGZAG / AUTOMATIC BUTTONHOLE ATTACHMENT Model #;S 6, 7, 8, 9 &10
    INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE GREIST ZIGZAG / AUTOMATIC BUTTONHOLE ATTACHMENT Model #;s 6, 7, 8, 9 &10 The possession of a Buttonhole Attachment is one luxury which is also an economy and sewing becomes a fascination anticipating the simplicity with which buttonholes can now be worked. You merely stitch and yet produce the very nicest buttonholes on a great variety of fabrics. There is no skill required. Your attachment furnishes the magic fingers which produce buttonholes in a fraction of the time it takes to work them by hand. They are more durable and stitches are more evenly spaced than those made by hand. SET OF TEMPLATES The Templates, which guide the stitches evenly around the entire buttonhole are furnished with the Buttonhole Attachment in the following 13 sizes: Plain buttonholes: 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 16mm, 21mm, 22mm, 24mm, 25mm, 27mm Eylet 8mm Keyhole/ eylet buttonholes: 16mm, 22mm, 27mm To avoid any chance of confusion, in positioning the Templates, they have been designed with a larger rounded end which fits over the Pinion Gear on the underside of the attachment . To determine the Template required to make the correct size buttonhole for a flat button, place the button over the measurement line on the back of Templates. Make a sample of each size buttonhole and use it as a guide for working buttonholes to be used with irregular buttons. RELEASING RETAINER PLATE First turn Plastic Adjusting Knob on the top of the buttonholer clockwise until the Cloth Clamp is all the way forward toward you, and the Pinion Gear is at the back of the Feed Blade.
