This one day lesson (45-minute class period) is designed as a checkpoint to make sure students understand how to use the sewing machine safely. Students will independently work through a worksheet that has them describe the steps to set-up a sewing machine, describe sewing notions, explain their skill level on a sewing machine, practice sewing on paper, and sew a straight line and pivot on fabric. As the students are working, the teacher will walk around, monitor progress, and ask questions. The day will conclude with a class discussion and the teacher picking up the applications. The following day, after the worksheets are graded, the teacher will award the Sewing Machine Licenses. This lesson is used right before the students begin their main sewing project as one last check to make sure the students know the necessary information to complete their projects.
