Class Registration & Policy

You may register over the telephone, in the store, by email, or in writing. We need your check, or credit card (with expiration date) at the time of registration.
Our teachers really work hard at not only preparing for classes, but also in keeping up with what is new and planning new classes. In order to commit to them, we have the following policies:
If the class is under $20.00 we require your full payment at the time we write down your name - if the class is over $20.00, we ask for one-half of the fee. You must cancel five days in advance - this means a Monday for a Saturday class - to receive your refund or credit.
Please be on time for class, with your sewing machine which you know how to operate. We do not allow children or other visitors in class.
Thanks and have a good time!
