About Our Classes
What to expect when you attend our classes:
Our teachers are knowledgeable and patient.
* We strive for a class atmosphere as comfortable and unstressed as possible.
If the project is not finished in class, you are always welcome to call or come back if you have a problem in finishing it up.
You may bring your lunch or order out.
We have a limited number of sewing machines available if you can not bring one. Please call ahead to reserve one.
We offer valet service if you need help to bring in your sewing machine and supplies. Just drive up to the door. We’ll unload you and park your car!
We like you to come a little early so you can get set up and ready to go when the class time starts.
We offer most of our classes in two different time slots to accommodate the working and non-working quilter.
Class fee must be paid to reserve a spot and to receive the supply list.
*Last, but not least, we’ll have a lot of fun and laughter while you’re here!
