Why is preparing a sample before making handicraft products helpful?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The design, materials and estimated cost can be checked
A sample is an initial version of the product. It allows the artisan to check the suitability of the design, the quality and quantity of materials, and the estimated cost before final production. Errors can therefore be corrected early and the risk of loss is reduced. Making a sample does not eliminate the need for large-scale production. Exam tip: remember a sample as a testing and planning stage.
