Grade
Blind
Hem
Hem Neat
¼ inch, then 1 inch is pressed up
evenly (within 1/8 inch) and
creates a generally straight line
along the bottom edge.
Hem is pressed up twice, evenly, but
not using the measurements
assigned, creating a generally
straight line across the bottom edge.
Hem is pressed up twice, but not
evenly and bottom edge is not
even.
Student did not follow
directions and pressed edge up
only once.
Student did not
press up hem as
directed.
Stitching
Neat
Stitches seem to be nearly the
same size and are in a straight line
across the fabric.
Stitches are not the same size, but
create a generally straight line across
the fabric
Stitches are not the same size
and do not create a straight line,
but stay within ½ inch wide band
of fabric across the fabric.
Stitches are not even and do
not create a straight line, but
hem is successfully attached.
Hem is not stitched.
Thread
Neat
Knots are neat and on the inside of
the fabric, ends are trimmed. No
excess threads are hanging out
anywhere else.
Knots are neat but have excess
thread and may not be neatly
trimmed. No excess threads are
hanging out anywhere else.
Knots have excess thread and
extra thread loops are visible, but
stitching is still secure.
Knots are loose, have excess
thread, and threads are
hanging out other places,
leading to insecure stitching.
Thread is not
knotted and hem
was not stitched.

Stitching
Neat
Stitches seem to be nearly invisible
and about the same distance apart,
and create a straight line along the
outside of the fabric.
Stitches are not the same distance
apart, but are nearly invisible and
create a generally straight line across
the fabric
Stitches are not the same
distance apart and do not create
a straight line, but stay within ½
inch wide band of fabric across
the fabric and are significantly
smaller than inside stitches.
Stitches are not even, are too
large, and do not create a
straight line, but hem is
successfully attached.
Hem is not stitched.

Button
Shank
Neat
Shank is securely formed and long
enough to permit another layer of
fabric to be buttoned.
Shank is slightly messy, but long
enough to permit another layer of
fabric to be buttoned.
Shank is very messy, and not long
enough to permit another layer
of fabric to be buttoned.
Button is too tightly attached
to be useful, but an attempt
was made to create a shank.
No attempt was

Neat
Button holes are evenly stitches,
and stitches on the inside are no
further apart that the button holes.
