Enrollment will remain open twenty-four hours a day once open and continue through the show. You may review or update your schedule at ANY time with your confirmation number. Please review the refund/cancellation policies below.

Please note: Due to space restrictions on the name badges, the titles of some classes have been shortened. Full class or lecture titles for those classes/lectures can be found in the first line of the description found in the online class catalog on our website. Please be sure to check the class number and title before enrolling.

Badges will be printed onsite at specialized kiosks when you arrive to check-in. Your badge will provide admission to the show floor and should always be kept with you. Present your badge along with your proof of enrollment—in either print form or displayed on your smartphone from the online enrollment process—for admittance to any and all classes/lectures/events.

WAITLIST 

At such time as a class/event reaches capacity, a limited Waitlist option will be available to those trying to enroll. Should a cancellation occur, and a slot become available, a link will be emailed to the first person on the Waitlist with instructions that they have 12 hours to modify their schedule online to take advantage of the opening.

Lacking a response within that time frame, a similar email will be sent to the second person on the Waitlist with instructions that they have twelve hours to modify their schedule online, and so on. At that point, whoever accepts the open slot first will be awarded the class. As of Sunday, October 27, the time frame for Waitlist notification changes to one hour (replacing the 12 hours).

PLEASE NOTE: You may choose to decline the Waitlist opening due to a cancellation fee from a previously selected class in the same timeframe or for any other reason. If you would rather remove yourself from the Waitlist, please modify your registration by logging in with your email and your confirmation number.

IMPORTANT! BEFORE YOU START THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS

Please have your class selections ready prior to starting your enrollment. You will have a limited amount of time to complete your enrollment when it opens in mid-June.

Each person must use a unique email address. Duplicate use of an email address will not be allowed to enroll.

ENROLLMENT INFORMATION

In order to attend any of the classes or events listed in this catalog, you must pay the overall enrollment fee of $60 AND the associated fees for each class, lecture, or event.

This fee includes registration processing as well as repeat admission to the show (and early entrance to VIP Preview Night), plus a complimentary official show pin and show program, Q². 

The enrollment fee is non-refundable. You do NOT need to purchase any additional daily tickets.

Please note that if you do not pay the enrollment fee you will need to purchase a daily ticket to access the show floor.

TOUR GROUPS

If you have already paid your admission to the show through a tour group, please complete your registration as normal. Once you have received your confirmation email, please send reply to that email with your Tour Group information so we can process the appropriate refund. (Please note these refunds may happen closer to the show when we have a final list of Tour Groups.)

REFUNDS/CANCELLATION FEES

Changes, cancellations, and refunds must be processed through the online registration system. The refund policy is as follows:

• 100% refunds available until September 27, 2024.
• 50% refunds available until October 11, 2024.
• 25% refunds available until October 25, 2024.
• Refunds for medical/family emergencies will be handled on an individual basis. If you experience a medical issue or other emergency which eliminates your ability to attend the Festival, please do not modify or cancel your enrollment. Please contact our Enrollment Office at enrollment@quilts.com so we can identify your refund options.
• Refunds for serious dissatisfaction will be considered only for a class that has produced multiple complaints. Requests for refunds must be received in writing at the Education Office, Room 370AD, within two hours of the conclusion of a morning class or by the next morning for all-day/afternoon classes and evening events. Again, refunds for dissatisfaction will only be considered if multiple complaints are received. The percentage of the refund will be at Quilts, Inc.’s discretion.
• If cancelling your online enrollment, the $60 enrollment fee is non-refundable.

CANCELLATION OF A CLASS BY MANAGEMENT

Occasionally, because of illness or other emergency, a teacher has to cancel an entire class at the last minute. We try to find a replacement teacher but give you the option of a full refund (including enrollment fee if this is your only class) or taking the same subject from a different teacher.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Class size varies according to the teacher’s preference and the room size. Most classes have no more than twenty-five students, and some have fewer. Longarm classes can have up to 36 students. BERNINA Stationary Longarm classes can have up to 25 students. Handi Quilter Stationary Longarm classes can have up to 12 students.

You must get the teacher’s specific permission before photographing or taping his/her class or lecture. Do not attempt to take flash photos of the slide screen. The photos will not turn out, and the flash distracts everyone else in the audience.
