No SOP pages have been written for this area yet. They will be added to the **Equipment SOPs** chapter of this book.

## 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.
