CLASSES/EVENTS

HOW TO REGISTER FOR CLASSES:

You may pre–register for classes either at the shop or by mail. Phone registration may be made with either Visa or MasterCard.

Seven day cancellation policy:

Many of our clubs and classes have a class fee or they are free if you have purchased your sewing machine or software from us. All our classes require you to cancel seven day prior to your class for a refund. For example, if your class is on a Saturday, you must cancel by the previous Saturday. The “seven day cancellation” includes all free classes that require pre–registration. We do require pre–registration on some of our free classes; an example is our mastery class and Embroidery Club. The pre–registration helps the instructor prepare for the class. The Sewing Room policy on mastery class is; your scheduled mastery class continues whether there is one or five in the class, you do not have to worry about cancellation due to the number of students in the class.

Refundable cancellation policy:

Classes that ask for a refundable deposit must be in cash or check. To receive your refund you must attend the class or cancel 7 days prior to the class, e.g. a Saturday class must be cancelled by Saturday.
