Policies for Classes, Workshops, and Events
Your registration implies that you have reviewed and agree to the policies below. If you have questions, please ask prior to registering for a class or event. The words "event" and "class" are used generically below and these policies are intended to apply to ALL situations that resemble a class, workshop, or event.
CANCELLATION POLICY - GENERAL:
If you are unable to attend a class, cancellation must be made by phone at 217-732-4112. If we miss your call, leave a message indicating your wish to cancel. We can not accept cancellations via text, email, or IM.
- A full refund will be issued if you cancel at least 5 calendar days prior to class start.
- Store credit will be issued if you cancel within 5 calendar days but at least 48 hours prior to class start time.
- Cancellation with less than 48-hour notice or failure to attend the class will result in forfeiture of your registration fee.
If WE cancel a class or event for any reason, a full refund will be issued.
CANCELLATION POLICY - SPECIAL EVENTS:
Some events require cancellation policies that differ from the above due to up-front costs or planning requirements. Examples include but are not limited to: Bus trips; nationally-recognized or specially-qualified instructors; instructor travel considerations; special equipment requirements; and more. When cancellation policies are specified in the class or event description, those policies supersede the General Cancellation Policy outlined above.
CLASS POLICIES:
- Only instructors and registered attendees may be present in the event space during classes.
- All classes must be registered and paid for in advance to reserve your spot.
- Unless otherwise noted in the class description, registration fees include instruction only. Supplies and materials may be extra and we'll do our best to estimate the cost in the description.
- A supply list will be provided upon registration. Please come prepared with all required materials and don't forget basic sewing notions such as scissors, seam ripper, pins, etc.
- Out of respect for designers and copyright laws, all students must have an original pattern unless written permission has been granted by the designer. Copied patterns are not allowed.
- If your class requires you to bring a sewing machine, we assume that your machine is in good working order and that you know how to operate it. (New machine owner classes are the exception.)
- Classes will start on time. Please arrive 10-15 minutes early so you can be set up and settled before the class begins.
- We reserve the right to cancel classes due to low enrollment, inclement weather, or other unforeseen circumstances. In the event that we cancel a class or event, a refund will be issued.
- Unless otherwise specified, students must be 18 years old to register.
