Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTDE3005A Replicate traditional hand craft techniques
Application
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to apply specialised digitising techniques to replicate traditional hand craft techniques on a computerised embroidery machine.
The unit of competency applies to using industry standard software to specify design properties and convert artwork for the computerised production of a range of traditional embroidery techniques.
Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises, such as operational workplace activities or home-based activities.
Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.
