As we grow, we sometimes need to make and implement new policies. We know, no one loves rules...but they will allow us to keep doing what we do so you can keep doing what you do!!
Registering for Classes....
We publish classes two to three months in advance. If we have received zero sign-ups by the Thursday before the class, we will notify the teacher and quietly cancel the class. We don't want the teachers pouring time into prepping for a class that will probably not take place, plus they give up their weekends to teach, so if they know on Thursday that the Sunday class isn't going to happen, they can make plans! Please don't wait until 2 days before a class to register (we understand that everyone has a very busy schedule and sometimes you don't know until 48 hours before that you can take a class, we totally get that...but we can't guarantee the class will still be available). For some classes we have to make kits to go with the class, so we may close late registrations so that we have enough kits for the whole class. If a class has only one student, we will still do our best to hold the class or reschedule for another time. Also, some classes are filling up insanely fast...so it's just another reason to register early!
Class Purchases...
Back in the day...when I was in my 30's...I could be teaching a class, grab you a US7 needle and actually remember to charge you for it before you left. We also had like 5 customers a month. We will still encourage you to get ANYTHING you like during a class or Sit-n-Stitch, but we ask that you please bring it up to the counter and let us scan it so we can add it to your tab. You don't need to settle up until the end of the day...it just makes sure we don't forget. I don't think anyone EVER intended to go home with unpaid merchandise, but I forgot to charge some people and the staff at the front desk didn't know. We love each and every one of you...but we just cannot continue giving out free inventory.

Thank you for your understanding and we are sorry for the inconvenience.
