Class Participation and Guidelines

Current classes can be found on our Calendar and Class buttons, right on the Home page.

Class spaces are limited. We want you to enjoy quality time with our educators, so all classes are limited to no more than 8 students.Please check each class for any minimum attendance requirements. 

Registration is easy! Sign up for classes right online or in-store. 

Out of respect for designers and makers, each student must have their own original legal pattern, when applicable. Required pattern information will be in each class description. 

You must bring a sewing machine in working order. We highly recommend bringing your sewing machine manual with you in case of any glitches!

Machine rentals are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Fees apply.

Minimum prior knowledge required for classes includes, but is not limited to, threading, bobbin winding, tension settings and basic stitch settings. Please be sure to read class descriptions for any additional skill requirements. 

Get in touch with us if you are interested in learning these beginner skills!

Please check class descriptions for additional homework, supplies or shopping needs. We ask all preparations are made as suggested in order for classes to run smoothly for all. 

We would be happy to assist you in your supply selection for class however, ask that you come in a few days, or at least a few hours, prior to class. Please be mindful to time your shopping around additional homework preparations (when applicable), such as pre-washing!
