7 **This page provides a lesson plan to teach programming embroidery designs.**
8
9 Teachers are free to use the prepared Lesson Plan as well as to create their own. To learn how coding embroidery designs works, it is recommended to go through the chapters and challenges for oneself.

14 There are **six fully prepared 50min-lessons**, for teachers of all school subjects. There is **no knowledge required**.
15 \\Mark, that you you need** access to a programmable embroidery machine. **Additionally every child must have an** Android smartphone with internet access. **
16 \\The App Embroidery Designer is currently **only** available for **Android** phones. We are working very hard on an iOS version.

21 The 1^^st^^ lesson is to **get to now the world of embroidery** in conjunction with coding as well as **drawing first drafts** of own designs.
22 \\In lesson 2 and three the children **learn how to code** embroidery designs. At the end of each lesson there is a **small challenge** to code easy designs with some basic help. For every exercise there are little cheet sheets and solutions too.
23 \\The lessons 4, 5 and 6 are intended for the childrens' own designs. **Basically, every design is possible. **The **more complicated** a design is the **more time** it will take. Therefore, if there are more lessons relatively is more time available, the children get the chance to create an even more brilliant design.

95
96
97 The teacher gives a short introduction about the difference between stitching and sewing (you can find more information [[here>>doc:Education.Embroidery.Introduction To The World Of Embroidery.WebHome]]) as well as which designs are possible in the available time.
98
99
100 Basically, every design is possible. It is only that all designs must be dividable into geometric parts such as lines, circles, polygons and arcs. Additionally, the more parts there are, the more time programming the pattern takes.
101
102
103 )))
104
105 To show some designs which are possible in the beginning here are some pictures.

116
117
118 === Phase 2 BE CREATIVE 20min ===
119
120 ----
121
122 During this phase it is possible to show the children an example of how the embroidery machine works. Of course, this is only possible if one is available. If there is, you can download [[here >>doc:||anchor="HDownloads"]]some .DST-files of example projects. Otherwise you can show [[this video>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvkVeEEnS0M]] as an alternative.
123
124 After the introduction the children should take paper and pencil to draw the designs which come to their mind. At this point it is not that important to be precise, those are just first drafts. Every child is welcomed to draw more than one design, although they will be able to code just one design.
125
126
127 === Phase 3 FINALISE YOUR DESIGN 15min ===
128
129 ----
130
131 Now the children have 15 minutes to draw their final draft in original size onto the design template. Therefor print the template in the size of your embroidery hoop. This could be 10 x 10cm or 20 x 20 cm for example. You can find the templates [[here>>doc:||anchor="HDownloads"]].

183 === Phase 1 WHICH STITCH TYPES ARE THERE – INPUT 5min ===
184
185
186 The teacher gives a short input about stitch types. (You can find information [[here>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvkVeEEnS0M]])
187
188 To show the different types of stitches here is a picture.
189
190 |(% rowspan="3" style="width:341px" %)[[image:different_stitches.png||height="175" width="300"]]|(% style="width:192px" %)(((
191 [[image:runningstitch.png||height="39" width="150"]]
192 )))|(% style="width:608px" %)The running stitch is just the normal stitch.
193 |(% style="width:192px" %)[[image:triplestitch.png||height="39" width="150"]]|(% style="width:608px" %)The triple stitch looks very similar to the running stitch, it is only that the machine stitches forward-back-forward, therefor the line is three times as strong as with the running stitch. This means the line stands out more.
194 |(% style="width:192px" %)[[image:zigzagstitch.png||height="43" width="150"]]|(% style="width:608px" %)The zigzag stitch is a thicker stitch. You can choose the thickness by changing the width. The length is the density of the stitch. In the picture the stitch has a length of 1 and width of 20.
195
196 The children should also be told about vocabulary like stitch length of the running stitch or density of the zigzag stitch. It should be clear, why the stitch length of the running or triple stitch should not be greater than 10 or smaller than 5 as well as why very small (under 5) or high (over about 40) values for the zigzag’s density are not embroiderable.
197
198
199 === Phase 2 CODE YOUR FIRST LINE 10min ===
200
201
202 In this Phase you need the //new project//, //objects// and //line// chapters.
203
204 The children should take their smartphones and learn how to program a line by reading those chapters step by step and programming simultaneously.
205
206 At this point the children should be able to differ between different stitch types and know how to program a line.
207
208
209 === Phase 3 PLAY WITH SQUARES 15min ===
210
211
212 In this Phase you need the //turn right/left//, //counting loops//, //point in direction// and //place at// chapters.
213
214 Again, the children should go through the chapters on their own.
215
216
217 To evaluate possible mistakes here are a few that are often made:
218
219
220 **1.** Make sure to differ between absolute and relative degree values.
221
222 Using those bricks [[image:turnleft.png||width="200"]] / [[image:turnright.png||width="200"]] the direction is based on the direction before setting the brick. For example, if the object points in direction 90 degrees, hence to the right, and you say turn left 90 degrees, the machine will point in direction 0 degrees, hence to the top.
223
224
225 Otherwise if the direction is 90 degrees at first and you use the [[image:pointindirection90degrees.png||height="39" width="200"]] brick it will point again in direction 90 degrees, hence to the top.
226
227
228 **2.** Make sure the children stop the stitch using this brick [[image:stopstitch.png||height="39" width="200"]] before they place the object at a new position. Otherwise the machine will stitch to this position automatically, which is what we DO NOT want most of the time.
229
230
231 Additionally, take a look at the //sew up// chapter to make the stitched design durable.
232
233
234 === Phase 4 CHALLENGE – BUILD A HOUSE 20min ===
235
236
237 Now the children should exercise what they have learned so far.
238
239
240 In this phase you need the //build a house// challenge.
241
242
243 If there are questions how to solve this, make sure that you find every brick or information you need in chapters 0 to 6.
244
245 Additionally, there is a prepared solution to solve this, which you can find [[here>>doc:||anchor="HDownloads"]].
246
247 Be clear that there are MANY SOLUTIONS for this challenge, and this is just one of them.
248
249
250 The children should help each other in this phase, to learn from each other and interact.

301
302 === Phase 1 CODE CIRCLES AND ARCS 10min ===
303
304
305 In this phase you need the circles and arcs sheets.
306
307
308 The children should go through the chapters on their own. Be there, to answer questions.
309
310
311 To evaluate possible mistakes here are a few that are often made:
312
313 * One mistake you often overlook is, that when coding a circle, the value of the repetitions [[image:repeat_marked.png||height="46" width="200"]] is higher than the number through which you divide the 360 degrees [[image:turn_marked.png||height="40" width="200"]]. That means the embroidery machine stitches more than one time around the circle. This mistake is difficult to find but you can see it, when the object goes further than one whole circle.
314
315 === Phase 2 BROADCASTS 10min ===
316
317
318 In this phase you need the broadcasts chapter.
319
320
321 Again, the children should go through the chapter on their own, but as this chapter is often difficult to understand, the children will probably ask questions.
322
323
324 === Phase 3 CHALLENGE – ICE CREAM 30min ===
325
326
327 Now the children should exercise what they have learned so far.
328
329 In this phase you need the //ice cream// challenge.
330
331
332 If there are questions how to solve this, make sure that you find every brick or information you need in the chapters 0 to 10. Additionally, there is a prepared solution to solve this, which you can find [[here>>doc:Education.CodedEmbroidery.Create Your Own Design.WebHome||anchor="HSOLUTIONS"]].
333
334 Be clear that there are MANY SOLUTIONS for this challenge, and this is just one of them.
335
336
337 The children should help each other in this phase, to learn from each other and interact.

393
394
395 The chapter 11 provides information on how to start own designs. As the final drafts are finished already (first lesson) the next step would be to mark the different geometric parts of the design on the final draft sheet.
396
397
398 === Phase 2 CODING THE FRAME 10min ===
399
400
401 To avoid that the programmed patterns are too large for the embroidery machine, it is important to program a frame first. Instructions for this can also be found in chapter 11.
402
403
404 === Phase 3 CODING THE DESIGN ===
405
406
407 From now on the children should program their design on their own. If there are questions not only the teacher but also the other pupils should help each other. There is a pattern in chapter 11, which helps to know how to approach programming an embroidery design.
