CLASS GUIDELINES
Emma's Quilt Cupboard maintains a strong commitment to education and expanding your quilting skills and knowledge. Because of this, our promise to you is to NEVER cancel a class, regardless of the number of people who have signed up.
We have one sewing machine available to rent ($5 per day) for classes. Please call in advance to reserve it. Reservations will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
Because we appreciate your business, Emma’s Quilt Cupboard offers a 10% discount on all fabrics, books, and supplies that you purchase for your class.
Please note that we have a refrigerator and microwave in the shop’s kitchen. Feel free to use them to stow your lunch or snacks if you want to bring something from home.
You will only be “officially” signed up for a class when payment has been received. You can sign up for a class over the phone, in person at the shop, or by mail, using a credit card, cash, or check.
Our goal is to provide sufficient time during class for you to complete your class projects. However, please remember that some classes may require homework or “catch up” for less-experienced quilters.
A supply list will be provided for each class. Please have your fabrics and supplies assembled before the class so that we may start on time. Anyone at the shop will be happy to help you with your fabric selections if you would find that useful. Basic supplies for a quilting class are sewing machine, cutting mat, rotary cutter, ruler, and basic sewing kit (scissors, seam ripper, pins, etc.).
When a pattern or book is used for the class, we expect each student to purchase a copy of their own. We respect all copyright laws.
Refunds for classes will be given. However, we will require a minimum of 1-week’s advance notice. Should you withdraw from a class with less than 1-week's notice, we will issue you a store credit up to 3 days before the class begins. After that, all class fees will be forfeited out of consideration for our teacher's time.
Please note for all machine classes. Please bring your sewing machine in good working order and be familiar with its basic functions (e.g., threading the machine, changing the needle, needle position adjustment, and stitch length). While we will do our best to help you with any problems, we are not familiar with all machines. Therefore, it is important that you have a thorough working knowledge of your machine. In consideration of your fellow students, please arrive early to set up your machine. Classes will begin at the scheduled time. Remember your foot pedal and power cord. Please click here for the printable class registration form: Class Registration Form.
If you choose to fax your form to us, please call to ensure we have received your completed form and that you are registered for your desired class.
Class passport is applicable to all project/technique classes. All eligible classes have been indicated as "passport classes" in the individual class descriptions.
