In sewing we take safety as our top priority. Sewing machines, cutting implements, tools and sewing notions are capable of severe damage if used incorrectly. We recommend, at minimum, an introductory sewing class before use of the sewing room.

However, we understand that many people have had sewing skills, taken lessons from a young age or from other sources. Thus, we only require specific in house training for use of our industrial machines.

Due to frequent breakage of the sewing machines, we're asking all users of Noisebridge's sewing machines—including the domestics—to take a training session to learn how to use our machines properly.

The introductory training session is every 2nd Friday for all the sewing machines, and occasional Wednesday evening Sewing: Introduction to the Industrial Sewing Machines. Please sign up before coming for the event so we can limit classes to a manageable size and give everyone a chance to practice on the machines. There is often a waitlist, so if you are unable to make the session please cancel so that someone else can take your place.
