GCSE Textiles Rescue – Zig-zag Appliqué
Ages 14-16
First published 2014

This eight-and-a-half minute video shows the technique of machine stitched zig-zag appliqué, explaining what this is and where it is used in decorating products. This helps students achieve a higher grade as it is a more challenging method. It includes step-by step instructions on how to use this technique using a sewing machine. A number of other instructional videos and presentations have been developed and are available showing a range of practical skills students can develop to improve their GCSE students’ grades.

The GCSE Textiles Technology programme has been run by the D&T Association since 2012 with funding support from the All Saints Educational Trust. It was originally offered as CPD events to those schools who wanted to improve their Textiles Technology GCSE results to an average score of 60% or above grades A-C. The programme was a mix of face to face national workshop and regional workshops and on-line support meetings.
