Through practice with multiple samples, students learn: (1) To tie fabric tightly so thread does not break or open during dyeing, (2) To handle dye carefully to avoid spills, (3) To use needles instead of scissors when untying to avoid cutting fabric, (4) To maintain enough workspace for dye and materials, (5) To improve tying technique with each sample, (6) To understand how different fabrics absorb dye differently, (7) To create better designs by learning from challenges in earlier samples.
