Chestnut Ridge Sewing is proud to offer you an exceptional teaching staff and superior events. To make it enjoyable for all, we request that you adhere to the following policies. Thank you for having confidence in us as we further your sewing knowledge.

When food is provided please be aware that we are unable to accommodate dietary restrictions.

Registration

• To reserve your class spot, payment will be required at the time of registration

• Register online following this process: 

  1. Go to Sewing, Embroidery & Quilting Classes page on the CRS website 

  2. Click the event for which you want to register 

  3. Click the REGISTER NOW button

  4. Complete registration via Eventbrite

• If you would like to use a Chestnut Ridge sewing machine for your class, please reserve this when registering. Rental Charge is $20.00, unless stated otherwise.

• If you have purchased a pattern through CRS and then sign up for a class that includes that pattern, you will be given a store credit on the day of class. Please verify the purchase with a CRS receipt. Store Credit will be given for the amount paid.

• In the event you wish to bring someone to class with you, a separate registration is required for that person. Because there are sharp cutting tools, pins, hot irons, etc. a class is not a safe or appropriate setting for children. 

Class Supplies Class Etiquette

• Supply lists can be found on the class event page on the CRS website. Any pre-class preparations will be included on the supply list.   

• Please purchase your supplies ahead of class so you are prepared. All students receive a 15% discount on supplies required for classes. In order to receive your discount, please remind the staff that you are taking a class. We appreciate that you support our business!

• We respect copyright laws. Each student must have his/her own copy of any book or pattern required for the class. Photocopies are not acceptable. No exceptions.

   

Cancellations

• Before signing up for class, please check your schedule carefully. Cancellations made by students will result in a $5.00 processing fee.

• Class Kit Fees are non-refundable. 

• Chestnut Ridge Sewing reserves the right to cancel a class for any reason. If your class has been canceled by CRS, you will receive a full refund.

• Please check the notes for each class.  Some events may have a slightly different policy.

Class Etiquette


• Please arrive on time and be prepared with class materials and pre-class preparations completed. 

• Turn off cell phones (or at least put them on silent). If you must take a call, please step out of the classroom.

• Please pay attention to the instructor and allow others to do the same. 

• For everyone’s safety, please keep your work area clean, especially the floor space around you. 

• Beverages brought to class must have lids and be kept away from sewing machines and fabric.
