This Sunday, March 12, is the start of daylight saving time. Most individuals get about 40 minutes to one hour less sleep during the first several days after it begins. As a result, the probability of an injury increases by three out of 100 individuals. Vehicle injuries are the most common.
Here are some tips to make the transition to daylight saving time a little easier. If you have any questions, reach out to our environmental health and safety specialist, Kim Knoernschild, at kknoernschild@georgefox.edu.
Is that small sewing kit your parents sent you to college with not cutting in anymore? Have no fear, the Maker Hub has multiple machines to solve your sewing needs, including the Janome Serger.
The Janome Serger performs a type of stitch known as the overlock stitch, a type of stitching that sews over the edge of one or more pieces of fabric. Sergers also have the ability to cut off the excess edge as it is fed through the machine. This type of stitching is useful for edging, hemming, and seaming. This process will create a clean edge of your fabric that will not fray.
The Janome MyLock 634D allows you to easily switch from overlock stitching to rolled hemming without needing to change the needle plate. Some of the key features include a tension release device, easily accessible lower looper guides, a changeable thread guide, an easily retractable upper knife, adjustable foot pressure, and more. Check out this video to see how it works. For more information, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki Page.
The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.
Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
