Textile Room Guidelines

Guidelines will be updated periodically at the discretion of the Textiles Area Lead.

The Room

  • The Textile Room is a CLEAN SPACE. Please be thoughtful of food and drink inside the area, preferably drinks with lids and food without lots of liquid. In particular, do not place anything besides the clothes iron, clean laundered fabric, pins and notions on the padded work table. If something has been on the floor or anywhere dirty, it should not be on the work surface.
  • Put things back where you got them (or put them in their proper place if someone else happened to leave them out).
  • Clean up after yourself. (Lint roll the table, sweep, etc)
  • Children under 6 are not permitted to use the equipment and must be supervised.


Ironing:

  • The padded table is for cutting, ironing, and pinning projects together
  • Always use the distilled water provided in the Textile Room to fill the irons and spray bottles.


Cutting:

  • Use only scissors, shears or fabric rotary cutters on the cutting mat, it is not made for leather. Use a light touch when using a rotary cutter. Do not use a box/utility knife on the cutting mat.
  • Textile scissors and shears have been labeled as “Fabric Only” or "leather scissors" and are only to be used to cut the following Acceptable Fabrics. Do not cut material from the Unacceptable Fabrics list below. If the material you would like to cut is not on either list, ask the Area Lead if it is safe.
Acceptable Fabrics: are woven or felted up to ⅛” thick. Some examples are cotton, linen, wool, cashmere, polyester, rayon/viscose, nylon, spandex, silk, leather...

Unacceptable Fabrics: Some examples are heavy metallic, kevlar, fur, faux fur, or anything above 15 oz per square yard… (Fur and faux fur are cut from the back side with a straight edge knife or ripped on grain.)...


Gammill Longarm Quilter: Authorized users only. Contact [Huie|June Huie] or [Fisher|Rayna Fisher] to schedule Authorization.

Sergers: Authorized Users only can change the thread. Contact [[2]] to schedule Authorization.

  • We currently have 2 sergers one set in black and one set in white thread. Anyone can use the sergers.
  • If the thread breaks please let the areal lead or an assistant know.
  • You may use the sergers, authorization is only for changing the thread or repair and upkeep.
