Waiver & Release of Liability
We use sewing machines, sharp scissors, and pins. We stress and teach safety every step of the way. Students must have the maturity and ability to listen, follow directions and use these items safely.
We are committed to teaching students how to use the sewing machines and sewing notions (scissors, pins, iron, etc) in a safe way. However, occasional pin pricks, burns, cuts and accidents do happen including the possibility of injuring a finger with the sewing machine needle. This is not a common injury by any means, but we do stress to students safe sewing practices to avoid this injury.
