Before you work here
- Corded tools require training, sewing machines included. See Training and Certification: How Certification Works, and check your certifications in Journeyman at https://journeyman.waukeshamakers.com.
- Inspect each machine before use. See Training and Certification: Pre-Use Inspection.
- Sharp tools. Leather knives, rotary cutters and needles are a leading cause of small injuries. Cut away from yourself and put blades away or close them when you are done.
- Clean up threads, scraps and pins so the next person does not find them the hard way.
