Frequently Asked Questions


Q: If my child has no sewing experience, how can I get him/her started?
A: First, register for a Beginner Workshop. This is a 2-hour class that typically is held on Saturday mornings.  Once they've taken the Beginner Workshop they can register for any after-school course, Saturday course, or camp.

Q:  My child has some sewing machine experience.  Does he/she still need the beginner workshop?
 A:  If your child already knows how to wind a bobbin and thread the machine, then no.  Otherwise they should take the beginner workshop. 

Q:  My child will miss one of the classes in his/her course.  Can I schedule a make-up?
A:  Students are allowed one make-up per 6-week session, only if they are unable to complete their projects in the remaining classes. Many times students are able to catch up without a make-up; if not, call or email us to schedule.

Q:  I signed up for a class but cannot attend due to an unexpected conflict.  Can I get a refund?
A:  If you cannot attend the class you are registered for, we are happy to offer you a credit for another class.  Refunds are provided for classes ONLY if the class is full and there is a waiting list, AND your spot is filled by someone on the waiting list.
