Class Policies


1.  You may register by phone, mail or in person.  Class must be paid for at the time of registration.  Cancellations more than one week before class will forfeit 10% of the class fee.  If canceling less than one week before class there is no refund.  You may send someone in your place.  We want to give our teachers the courtesy of knowing one week in advance how many students to expect and prepare for.  If we cancel the class there is a full refund. 

2.  Please pick up a supply list before coming to class.  Patterns and supplies are extra unless it says so in the description.  A student discount is given on all supplies needed for classes.  We are happy to help you put together fabrics in colors to match your needs!

3.  If the class requires you to bring a sewing machine, please come early to set up.  We are glad to carry the machine in for you.  Please make sure your machine is in working order.

4.  Please do not bring children to classes unless it is a children's class!.  Also refrain from wearing perfumes to class.  Some of us have allergies!

5.  Most quilting classes only cover piecing the tops.  Take a finishing class to learn quilting and binding techniques. 

6.  This is Minnesota and sometimes it's hard to decide what the weather will do!  If Stewartville or Rochester cancels school, our classes will be canceled (and re-scheduled) as well.
