Old Alley Quilt Shop Class Policy

1. All classes will be held in the  classroom at Old Alley Quilt Shop in Sherburn.

2. All classes must be paid for one week before the class. A phone call will add your name to the list, but payment must be received before a supply list will be given or sent to you. Make checks payable to Old Alley Quilt Shop. A refund will be sent to you if the class is canceled. Vouchers for future classes will be given if you cancel. No refunds or vouchers for no shows on class day.

3. Most classes are for the quilt top only. Feel free to come and use the classroom any time for further assistance for completing your project.

4. Cutting mats, irons and ironing boards will be provided. Please bring your own rulers and rotary cutters. Please be familiar with the sewing machine you bring and make sure it is operating properly. We will have a sewing machine for you if it is reserved one week prior to the class on a first come, first served basis (We have five available).  If you are using one of our machines, please come early enough to learn how to run it before class begins.

5. We encourage you to bring your own lunch on all day Saturday classes. A refrigerator and microware are available. The coffee pot is always on. Quilters like to graze while they quilt so any treats will not be turned away.

6. Classes start at the time specified.  Please arrive early to purchase supplies, set up sewing machines etc.
