Class/Event Policies

Registration and Payment:
We accept class sign-ups as soon as the newsletter is printed and placed on the website. Payment in full is required at the time of registration. You may register and pay:

1. In person in the store.
2. By mail with a check (please include a note with the details of the class or use the registration form printed below).
3. By phone with a credit card.

Cancellation:

1. Because we must ensure that ASC instructors are compensated for class time, there are no refunds for cancellations. You may receive a store credit when you cancel within 48 hours of the scheduled class.
2. AASC reserves the right to cancel classes as necessary, at which time a full refund will be issued. AASC will do its best to notify students of a class cancellation at least two days before the class date.
3. There are NO refunds for NO-SHOWS.

Additional Information:

1. Supply lists are usually given at time of paid registration. Additional information may be emailed to registered students by the instructor prior to class. The cost of supplies are not included in the class fee unless so noted.
2. Please purchase your supplies before class. Supplies should be purchased at AASC to ensure you have just the right products. Remember that we offer a discount of 10% for class supplies.
3. Typically a minimum of 4 students is required to hold a class.
4. You may want to check with us before you buy your supplies to be sure a class is a go.
5. Patterns and embroidery designs may not be shared among students unless the pattern/design creator has given specific permission to do so. Educators and creators are professionals who deserve to be paid for their work. 
6. Please do not wait until the last minute to buy your supplies. As you know, picking out fabric takes time and we would hate for you to miss the beginning of your class. Instructors will not wait for you to begin the class.
7. If a class is full you may ask to have your name placed on a waiting list in case a student cancels.
8. Make up sessions for missed classes are at the discretion of the instructor. If you miss a class or need additional help you can make arrangements with the class instructor at their professional fee.
9. Please be considerate of others. Do not bring children to class, wear heavy perfume or use cell phones during class.
10. Please be on time for class or better yet, come 15 minutes early to set up your sewing space. Classes begin promptly at the scheduled time. If you are unable to make the class session, please call so we will know not to expect you.
11. We do have class maximums. These may vary with the class being offered. Register early to avoid having to be placed on a waiting list.
12. The use of cell phones is disruptive to other paying students and instructors. Please wait until class breaks or step outside for calls.
13. Please mark your calendar with your classes. We do not make reminder calls. We will call if a class is cancelled or changed.
