Please take time to read our class policy before you register for a class. Reviewing the policy, general class supply list and class specific supply and material lists will make your class experience much more enjoyable.

Sewing machines (in good working order) are required for most classes.  If you cannot bring your sewing machine to class, contact the store.  It may be possible for you to book one of the store machines for use during the scheduled class time.  Students should expect to do some homework so you must have access to a sewing machine at home.
