4. Rules of the textile classroom!
Can you match up the rules of the textile classroom?
If you need to, hold them face down by the blades
Before you use the iron
Slips and hurts themselves
Before you use equipment or goods
Using the sewing machine
Nobody trips over them whilst walking round the classroom
Cut paper because this will blunt them
Stretch so that measurements are always correct
They are used to stop the edges of material from fraying
Always tell your teacher straight away
Place bags under table so that
Try not to hold scissors
Always ask the teacher
Always mop up spillages so that nobody
If you have an accident
Only person at a time should be
Make sure you read instructions
Tape measures are made from material that will not
Fabric scissors should never be used to
Pinking shears cut with a serrated edge.
