About CLASSES....

You may register for a class by phone, however to guarantee your space we’ll need payment IN ADVANCE, by cash or check made payable to the instructor.  Until payment is received you will be put on a waiting list.  We will continue to refund your class fee if you can’t make the class IF you have provided ONE weeks notice.  No shows forfeit the class fee.  Our classes fill very quickly, sometimes even before the newsletter comes out, so please call early.  The shop doesn't keep any part of the class fee; we pass the savings on to you.  (So, we appreciate you buying your supplies for the class here.) Avoid buying the wrong products, buy your class supplies here. If you don’t have  a machine, yours is on the fritz, or you just can’t take it out of the cabinet, use one of ours, there is NO FEE, however we request you only use Mettler thread. Just let us know you need one when you register for class.  NOTE:  ALL BRANDS OF MACHINES ARE WELCOME TO CLASSES EXCEPT VIKING CLUB OR VIKING CLASSES.  YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THE OPERATION OF YOUR MACHINE.
