○​ The instructor offers immediate feedback and uses peer coaching when appropriate. ○​ Machines and work areas are labeled with clear visual aids that help students independently identify parts and functions, supporting visual learners and promoting self-directed learning. ○​ Students view online tutorials or how-to videos as supplementary reinforcement either before or after class instruction. ○​ This supports asynchronous learning and allows for differentiated pacing. ○​ Students first practice stitching lines, curves, and corners on paper to build control and familiarity with the machine. ○​ This reduces material waste and builds confidence before advancing to fabric-based projects. ○​ Students rotate through interactive stations set up around the room to gain kinesthetic, hands-on experience using various tools such as seam rippers, measuring tapes, and pins. ○​ Each station includes clear instructions, visuals, and tool-specific tasks to build familiarity and competence. ○​ The teacher provides explicit demonstrations on the correct and safe use of scissors, rotary cutters, and irons. ○​ Emphasis is placed on visual modeling and verbal cues to ensure understanding of safety protocols. presentations, or tutorial videos that outline tool hazards, proper use, and safety precautions. ○​ Students are guided through routine machine maintenance tasks like cleaning lint, oiling parts, and troubleshooting basic issues.
