Sewing Safely

It is not necessary to use a pin cushion or magnetic pin catcher while sewing.

Avoid putting pins in your mouth.

In order to get help from Mrs. Beverly in the sewing lab, you should take a number, put it on your machine and wait patiently.

Students who throw pins, needles or misuse equipment will continue their learning experience in the textbook.

Keep your fingers away from the path of the sewing machine needle

When operating a sewing machine it is not necessary to pay attention to what you are doing.

Disconnect the cord from the machine first and then from the electrical outlet..

Always sew over pins or needles when using the sewing machine

Be sure all cords are positioned safely so no one will trip or pull the iron off the board..

When handling a hot iron leave the iron laying flat on the ironing board.
