IMPORTANT INFORMATION

REAL TIME, ONLINE ENROLLMENT WITH IMMEDIATE EMAIL CONFIRMATION

Enrollment will remain open 24 hours a day beginning in mid-February and continuing 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. Complete 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.

WAITLIST AVAILABLE FOR ALL CLASSES/EVENTS

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 12 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 Wednesday, April 1, all Waitlists will be cleared and any spots open will become available on a first come/first served basis.

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. If you choose to accept the Waitlisted class and are enrolled in another class in the same timeframe, you will be required to cancel the previously enrolled-in class before you can accept the Waitlisted class in the same timeframe. There will be a cancellation fee based on the Refund/Cancellation Fees section below. You will be refunded the applicable percentage of the cancelled class fee and materials fee. You will be charged for the Waitlisted class and all fees associated with it.

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.

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 $45 AND the associated fees for each class or lecture. The enrollment fee is a one-time fee. When classes are added after the initial enrollment, it is not necessary to pay the enrollment fee again. 

This fee includes registration processing and repeat admission to the show, plus a complimentary official show program and show pin.

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

Exceptions are noted with *** in event listings and only include lectures. Tickets may be purchased at the door (up to capacity) for these lectures only. Please note that if you do not pay the enrollment fee you will need to purchase a daily ticket to access the show floor.

CONFIRMATION OF ENROLLMENT

• Upon completion of your enrollment, you will receive a confirmation email listing your confirmed classes and lectures. Be sure to check your junk mail folder.
• You may make changes to your enrollment at any time using the link provided in your confirmation email with your confirmation number. Please see info on Refunds/Cancellation Fees below.

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 a reply email to enrollment@quilts.com with your Tour Group name and operator contact information so we can process the appropriate refund. Refunds are based on tour group arrangements. You may not receive a full refund of your enrollment fee. (Please note these refunds will happen after 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 are available until February 27, 2026.
• 50% refunds are available until March 13, 2026.
• 25% refunds are available until March 27, 2026.
• 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 Quilt! Knit! Stitch!, please do not modify or cancel your enrollment. Please contact our Enrollment office at enrollment@quilts.com so we can consider 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 103 or via email to jamiem@quilts.com, within two hours of the conclusion of morning classes or by the next morning for all-day/afternoon classes. 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 $45 enrollment fee is non-refundable.

CANCELLATION OF A CLASS BY MANAGEMENT

Occasionally, because of illness or other emergencies, 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 an enrollment fee if this is your only class) or taking the same subject from a substitute teacher.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Class size varies according to each teacher’s preference and the room size.

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

MATERIAL FEES (MAT FEE)

Total class cost (fee plus materials) is noted on the line below the teacher’s name. An * indicates material fees included. Material fees are noted below class description. This is the cost of materials provided by the instructor for each student, not a fee to rent a cutting mat.

CLASSROOM AID

Classroom Aids provide help for Quilt! Knit! Stitch! teachers by taking roll, passing out materials in class, and running limited errands. To be selected as a Classroom Aid, you must first enroll for that particular class and then respond to the link provided in your confirmation email.

The first person to respond will be chosen as the Classroom Aid and will receive a Classroom Aid acceptance email closer to the show. You will receive an International Quilt Festival Classroom Aid pin of your choice at the conclusion of your class & duties. Check the sign outside the Education office or at the Enrollment area to see if a Classroom Aid is still needed for your class and sign up in the Education office, room 103.

CLASS SUPPLIES

Be prepared for class. The Supply List for each class is available through a link listed directly after the class description to either a pdf supplied by the teacher or to the teacher’s website. Bring all the listed supplies for each of your classes. Do NOT bring your own iron or sewing machine to class. If needed for your class, they will be supplied. In most cases, bring paper and a pencil for a lecture.

Note: If fabric strip width is given, but not length, cut the strip from selvage to selvage; finished strip = 40-45 inches long. Read fabric yardage figures carefully!
