#1
Sewing machines are powered equipment that
can be extremely dangerous keep your hands
clear of the needle at all times.
Always be aware of the up and down movement
of the needle and do not turn your attention
away from the machine while its running, do
not so much as look away.
#2
You must follow my instructions for
both threading and winding the
bobbin for your machine
#3
NEVER pull on fabrics they are to be guided
through at the front of the needle, MULTIPLE
MARKS will be deducted for pulling fabric
through as it is incorrect operation of the
machine and seriously damages it.
If fabric will not feed through turn the machine off
and notify the teacher, pulling is never the
answer.
#4
DO NOT sew over pins, this breaks the
needle which can cause harm to the
machine or your EYEBALLS!
#6
Listen for strange noises from the
machine, this tells you something is not
working correctly.
At the first sign of a problem stop sewing,
turn the machine off, and signal for the
teacher.
#7
Do not miss use the equipment, ensure you are
using the appropriate sewing accessories for
each respective task set.
Do not use sewing scissors on paper as they are
sharpened and cut especially for fabric
cutting.
Use the cutter wheel on the cutting boards
provided to you.
#8
ALWAYS ensure the presser foot is
down before operating the sewing
machine, failure to do so will lead to
damage to the machine
#9
When raising the needle on your machine,
YOU MUST ALWAYS TURN THE HAND
WHEEL TOWARDS YOU SELF or
BACKWARDS … NEVER….. AWAY FROM
YOU or FORWARDS. YOU WILL BREAK
THE MACHINE!
