We strive to offer a diverse class list, covering varied topics and techniques. We try not to repeat any classes that are taught at other large area shows (close to where our show is). It just helps everyone to not have a lot of the same classes being taught in a similar area.

​

After a lot of feedback from students, we will be focusing on 3-hour half day classes. We are unable to offer after-hours classes. 

​

Some things to consider- our students tend to be beginner to intermediate, although we do have some students interested in more advanced projects. Technique classes do well, and students prefer a class that is project-based, so that they come away with something tangible. Obviously in a half day class you're not finishing a whole quilt, but students seemed happier if they could finish a block in class, or at least feel confident enough to finish the piece at home.

​

Kit fees are fine, but we do notice classes with higher cost kits, especially ones that use rulers that are specific to this project only, don't do well. Also, students appreciated if there were specific items on a supply list that they were either kitted or available for purchase in class. Our students do tend to be more budget-conscious, and we've noticed classes that utilize scraps or small cuts of fabric do very well. Classes of all varieties from traditional to modern, mixed media to wholecloth are well attended! For machine classes, we do have sewing machines provided in the classroom. 

​

We offer one-hour lecture slots, so feel free to submit for a lecture as well.

Please Note: We do not reimburse for travel as a separate expense, so be sure to roll in travel, hotel etc to your class fee. You can request either a flat fee or a per-student fee. We limit the classes to 24 students, but can adjust that number if needed. You can charge a separate kit fee and either have us collect it, or choose to collect it in class.
