How does registration work?

Online Registration opens for all workshops, lectures, events at 10:00 am PST,  January 8, 2025, on stitchinpost.com. All registration is online only. No registrations will be taken via mail, e-mail, paper (walk-in), or fax. 
Our registration system requires all students to create a Stitchin' Post customer account before completing checkout. You may create your account before registration to save time. If you already have an account, please make sure all of the information, especially your email address is correct. If your email address has changed, you will need to update it or create a new account.
Please note: As of 2023 we have combined Quilter's Affair and Stitchin' Post websites. Your old QA account will not work on the Stitchin' Post website. You must use your existing Stitchin' Post account or create a new one.
QA class information is available to browse starting December 18th, 2024, but classes will be listed as “Sold Out” until registration opens January 8th, 2024. Classes will be removed from the website on January 6th to give our staff time to prepare for registration.
All classes are filled on a first come, first served basis. Putting a class in your shopping cart does not guarantee you a seat - the seat is not yours until your order has been charged and processed. You may only purchase classes for yourself - friends must register separately. 
Once a class fills, a waitlist will be turned on. See below for more information about waitlists.
Any communication in reference to registration must be directed to Julie by email: julie@StitchinPost.com

Where can I rent a sewing machine?

For sewing machine rentals, please contact Bill at Cynthia's Sewing Center in Bend, Oregon: bill@cscbend.com  Or go directly to their website.

Who do I contact if I have questions about Quilter's Affair?

The most efficient method is an email to Julie@stitchinpost.com. Julie has a large volume of emails to process so it may be a few days before you hear anything from her.  Stay patient as she will get your message answered as soon as possible.  Please do not call the Stitchin Post as they will only refer you to email Julie.

Do you have a waitlist for sold out classes?

Yes!  Once a class fills, a waitlist will be turned on. If a seat opens up, the first person on the waitlist will be emailed. After being notified you will have 24 hours to purchase the class, after that, the next person on the waitlist will be sent an invitation. If there are any places available in classes with a waitlist on June 30th, an email notification of availability will be sent to everyone on the list and the spot will be filled on a first come first serve basis for anyone on the existing waitlist. Starting July 1st all standard waitlists expire and any remaining openings are available on a first come, first serve basis.

What is your cancelation policy?
