All classes require registration in person or by phone and must be accompanied by payment in full. Supply lists will be given out upon receipt of payment. Registration ends one week before the class starting date.
If a class description lists a required text or pattern, each student must have their own personal copy with them to comply with copyright laws. If purchased from us, we’ll give a 15% student discount. The discount also applies to all other supplies purchased for the class. Please purchase your required supplies at least one week in advance so if we’ve run out, we will have time to order more before the class.
