Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to interpret design specifications and use weaving looms to produce sample woven products. Samples may be complete or partially completed items.

This unit applies to individuals producing work based on a pre-determined design. They use judgement and problem-solving to select and troubleshoot processes to achieve quality outcomes.

No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements 

Performance Criteria 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Establish requirements for woven textile samples

1.1 Analyse design specifications and pattern for woven product and discuss with appropriate personnel to confirm production requirements

2.2 Check yarns to be woven against quality standards

2.3 Undertake weaving techniques to meet design specifications for samples and in accordance with workplace procedures

2.4 Monitor weaving techniques and outcomes throughout to identify production faults

3. Check quality of sample

3.1 Check completed samples against design specifications and pattern to ensure quality standards are met

3.2 Identify weaving faults and production problems and determine causes

3.3 Analyse weaving process, technique and materials used to determine necessary modifications to weaving techniques, processes or patterns

4. Complete production process

4.1 Rectify weaving faults and production problems or reproduce samples according to modifications

4.2 Finish woven samples according to design specifications

4.3 Examine outcomes with appropriate personnel and discuss and document possible modifications to design
