	For safety and to prevent breakage of our machines and degradation of our tools, we strongly suggest a sewing class before use of the sewing room. Before use of the large industrial machines, we require a certification class. Classes are announced on our discord channel and on the Noisebridge Meetup page. Sewing 101 and other entry level classes teach basic tool use and use of the domestic machines. Sewing 201 and intermediate classes provide pathways to certification in our industrial machines. Many Sewing 200 or above classes require Sewing 101 or similar level of experience. Only with certification do we allow use of the industrials.

	The training session is ~~part 1~~ and ~~part 2~~.		The introductory is training session is every 2nd Friday for all the sewing machines, and occasional Wednesday evening Industrial only.

	~~Part 1 teaches you basic fabric-cutting and sewing-machine knowledge—enough knowledge to be less likely to break our machines.~~

	~~Part 2 demonstrates your knowledge by producing a simple tote bag. '''You must complete ''both'' trainings to be qualified.'''~~

	~~Once you have been so trained, the trainer will add your name to this page.~~
