Common MistakeStandard

Rushing progression causes setbacks — patience builds lasting skill.

  • Test First

    Always do a test run on scrap material before working on the final piece.

  • Consistency Check

    Verify uniformity across all pieces — inconsistency is the most common quality issue.

  • Material Hazards

    Read material safety data sheets (MSDS) before handling unfamiliar materials or chemicals.

Safety Notes

  • Keep fingers away from the needle area when the machine is running.
  • Store pins and needles in a secure pincushion — loose sharps cause injuries.
