|---|---|
| What is the BIG rule when operating a sewing machine. | Always make sure that you are the only person operating the machine - remember. only ONE person should operate a sewing machine at any one time. |
| Where should the leads be on your sewing machine? | They should be on the right hand side of the machine. |
| Where should they NOT be? | They should not be going across your lap and down onto the floor on your left hand side. |
| How should you pass scissors to someone? | Closed, and offering the handle to them. |
| Why can glasses sometimes be a safety issue? | If you need glasses to read with then you need to wear them to sew on a machine. They are a safety issue if you are not wearing them when you should be. |
| How can you make sure that you don't get hurt by the needle on the sewing machine? | CONCENTRATE, don't go too fast and don't let anyone else operate your machine at the same time as you. |
| How can you make sure that pins are not dropped onto the floor and other surfaces? | Use a pin cushion to put your pins in when you take them out of your work. Use a magnet to pick your pins up with. |
| Where should you put your bag in the Textiles room and why? | On the shelves by the door so that it does not become a trip hazard. |
| What are the risks of using the iron? | Tripping over the cord, burning yourself. |
| Why should you not have your drink bottle near to the sewing machines or computers? | Because water and electricity do not mix and it is very important not to spill water near to an electrical item. |
| What is a quick unpick and why can it be hazardous? | A quick unpick is a little tool to help unpick lines of sewing that have been done incorrectly. It is very sharp and so care must be taken when using one. |
| What should you wear if you are putting a zip into a product? | Safety glasses. |
| How should you move around the classroom? | Sensibly and NOT running. |
| Why is it important not to chatter too much when using the sewing machine? | Because it can interfere with concentration and because it means that the teacher can't hear the sewing machines very well and if they are going wrong. |
| Why should you NOT wind the sewing machine lead around the foot control when you put the machine away? | Because this damages the lead and can cause electrical faults. |
| Why is it important to always check the settings on your machine and the presser foot BEFORE you start sewing? | Just in case a zipper foot has been left on the machine - you don't want to sew zigzag with a zipper foot on the machine. |
| If you are concerned that your machine is not working safely for any reason (making funny noises, light flickering, smell of burning etc) what should you do? | Switch it off at the wall and tell your teacher straight away. |
| Where should your chair be when you are not using it and why? | Safely tucked under the desk/worktop so that no one trips over it. |
| What MUST you do BEFORE you turn the electricity to your machine on at the wall. | Make sure that the electrical lead is plugged into the machine. |
| What should you do when you finish using the iron? | Switch it off at the wall. |
