for some great teachers!

Payment with a credit card is required in order to hold your space.
You will receive a supply list (if required) in the mail.

Remember we have 2 classrooms and if classes are not scheduled, they are 
free if you want to sew, or baste, or quilt, or have some friends come and sew.  
Just give us a call, make a reservation and come on in!

We offer a full schedule of classes, both for quilting and doll making.  
Please call, stop by or email for a class schedule. 

We have samples of all the class projects hanging in the store.  
Come on in and take a look!
You may attend software classes to see if you will enjoy using it - the cost of any one class will be applied to your purchase within 30 days.

Embroidery Club

This club meets on the 2nd Tuesday from 5:30-7:30 or the Wednesday following from 10-12.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about using your embroidery machine, all of the capabilities of embroidery and have fun making a project.
If you want to receive emails about our monthly projects, email mary@thecalicocat.com and ask to be added to the embroidery email list. This is a separate list from the Calico Cat emails, so please sign up directly. In the last couple of months we have embroidered on paper and made cards, embroidered on organza for luminaries, and with balsa wood.

All embroidery machines are invited with their owners. (if you have a machine other than a Bernina or an older Bernina please bring your manual.)

Software Sampler

Usually the 4th Sat of the month at 9:30

This class is hands-on software education on the fourth Saturday at 9:30 am each month in the shop. This computer-based training is $10.00 for each session.
You will need your computer with dongle and software loaded, and you’ll receive a packet with the printed information and a CD, so you can use it easily
on your own again after the class. This is a fabulous opportunity to learn, and use your software.

If you missed some sessions you can still purchase the CD’s. Just let Cindy know. There will be an upgrade to version 6 from 5, but not from 1,2,3, or 4. If you have older software, come to a software sampler and see what is going on and order your upgrade today. You’ll love it!

Visit www.Berninausa.com and learn more about this exciting software!
