Policy for class registration

You must pay for a class in full in order to receive the class supplies list and to reserve your place. You may register by phone, on line, or in the store. If you need to cancel, please do so at least 10 days prior to the first class in order to receive a full refund. If an emergency arises and you cancel less than 10 days before the first class, but at least one day before, a class certificate will be

issued. Please use this for emergencies only as late

cancellations can be problems for us. All books and patterns and some

special tools required for a class can be purchased at a 20% discount after

paid registration. Check that class enrollment minimums have been met before purchasing supplies.

Private Class For times when a regularly scheduled class just won’t do, we offer private classes to fill the void. Let’s say that a class you're interested in requires rotary skills, and you’re still snipping along with scissors. Well a 1-hour private class will bring you up to speed. Or say that you really want to get the hang of paper-piecing or some other skill. Or maybe our classes just don’t fit in your schedule. Talk to any one of us and we’ll find you the right person at the right time to teach you what you need to know. $25 per hour per person.

Quilts for Kids

On the first Tuesday of each month

a group of charity-minded quilters

meets at PQW to sew together for

the organization, Quilts for Kids.

Quilts are given to children who are

ill, abused, or in difficult situations

who could use the comfort of a quilt

made for them. Experienced quilters

only, please. Please bring your lunch

or snack, your machine and sewing

supplies. Quilt kits will be provided.

Please register ahead so we know

how many to expect.
