CLASS POLICIES

• Please come early enough to be set up for the start of the class.
  
  
• Be prepared. This includes all items on the supply list, sewing machine in good working order and basic sewing supplies. It is also a good idea to bring an extension cord and power strip. NSQG owns several travel irons, but you may want to bring your own.
  
  
• Cell phones should be turned off. If you need to make or take a call, please exit the classroom.
  
  
• No visitors in class. It is very distracting to the teacher and other students.
  
  
• If you have to leave the class early, please sit in the back.
  
  
• If you need to cancel a class, you will receive your fee back if we can fill your spot from a waiting list. Non-members may register for a class the month of the class, providing there is an opening.
  
  
• In consideration of others, please refrain from wearing perfumes.
  
  
• Lunch is on your own, brown bag or you may go out.
