Lesson 4

Needle and Pin Safety





Needles and pins are available in a variety of sizes and styles. Practice safety when handling these small items.

  • Never put pins in your mouth.

  • Store pins and needles in a pin cushion.

  • Avoid working with pins and needles in rooms with carpet. They are hard to see and find. You do not want to step on one.

  • Remove all broken pieces of machine needles completely from the unplugged machine.
