Use proper lighting

Regularly maintain your sewing machine
Keep your machine clean and oiled, and replace needles regularly to prevent malfunctions and possible injuries.
Use the Correct Needle Size
Selecting the appropriate needle size for the fabric you are working with can prevent needle breakage and injury.
Keep pins and needles secure
Use a pincushion or magnetic holder to keep pins and needles secure when not in use to prevent accidents.
Cut fabric with care
Use sharp scissors to cut fabric and keep your fingers away from the cutting line to avoid cuts.

Sewing too quickly can lead to mistakes and possible injuries, so take your time to ensure safety and precision.
