CLASSES INTRO & IMPORTANT INFORMATION

REAL TIME, ONLINE ENROLLMENT WITH IMMEDIATE EMAIL CONFIRMATION

Enrollment for ALL Festival classes, events, and tours must be made online through our website at www.quilts.com (go to Quilt Festival > Long Beach for link).

Enrollment will remain open 24 hours a day beginning in March and continuing through the show. Please refer to our website and/or social media for the announcement of when enrollment will open. You may review or update your schedule at ANY time with your confirmation number. Please review the refund/cancellation and Covid policies below.

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 phone from the online enrollment process—for admittance to any and all classes and tours.


WAITLIST NOW AVAILABLE FOR ALL CLASSES/TOUR

At such time as a class/tour 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 twelve 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 #2 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/tour. As of Tuesday, August 2, the timeframe for Waitlist notification changes to one hour (replacing the twelve hours).

PLEASE NOTE: if you have booked yourself for another class/tour for the time slot of the Waitlisted class/tour and do not want to incur the cancellation fees as outlined below in the Refunds/Cancellation Fees section, you may choose to not accept the Waitlisted class/tour.

REAL-TIME ONLINE ENROLLMENT

IMPORTANT! BEFORE YOU START THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS

  • Please have your class selections ready prior to starting your registration. You will have a limited amount of time to complete your registration. Enrollment will be open in March. Please visit quilts.com for more information.
  • Each person must use a unique email address. Duplicate uses of an email address will not be allowed to register.

ENROLLMENT INFORMATION

In order to attend any of the classes or tour listed in this catalog, you must pay the overall enrollment fee of $40 (includes repeat admission to the show, plus a complimentary official show pin, and show program, Q2) AND the associated fees for each class or tour. The enrollment fee is non-refundable.

CONFIRMATION OF ENROLLMENT

  • Upon completion of your enrollment, you will receive a confirmation email listing of your confirmed classes and/or tour.
  • You may make changes to your enrollment at any time using the link provided in your confirmation email with your confirmation number.
  • Badges will no longer be mailed prior to the show. Please bring your enrollment information to the kiosks in the enrollment area to print your badges and pick up your items.

IMPORTANT DATES AND DEADLINES

  • Enrollment opening date will be announced on our website quilts.com and social media.
  • There is NO enrollment deadline. You will be able to make changes throughout the show.
  • Enrollment office contact info: 877-578-4587.
  •  

TOUR GROUPS

If you have already paid your admission to the show through a tour group, please send an email to enrollment@quilts.com with your name and the name of your tour group and your confirmation number. Once the payment from your tour group is verified, we will apply the appropriate credit to your card.

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 July 1, 2022.
  • 50% refunds available July 2-15, 2022.
  • Refunds for medical/family emergencies will be handled on an individual basis. Please contact enrollment office directly to request refund due to emergency or medical reasons.
  • Refunds for serious dissatisfaction will be considered only for a class that has produced multiple complaints. Requests for refund must be received in writing at the Education Office, Room 203C, within two hours of the conclusion of a morning class 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 refund will be at Quilts, Inc.’s discretion.
  • If cancelling your online enrollment, the $40 enrollment fee is non-refundable.


CANCELLATION OF A CLASS BY MANAGEMENT

Occasionally, because of illness or other emergency, a teacher must 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 25 students, and some have fewer. Longarm classes can have up to 24 students. Handi Quilter Capri classes can have up to 20 students.

You must get the teacher’s specific permission before photographing or taping his or her class. 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.

MEET OUR EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

Full-time staff members Jill Benge, Education Manager and Barbara Cline, Education Assistant direct a “show team” that arrives to help at each show.

EDUCATION OFFICE

Room 203C on the second floor of the Long Beach Entertainment & Convention Center is “command central” for all educational offerings at Quilt Festival. It’s also the place to check for classroom lost & founds, to turn in any refund request or special request, and to check in as a Classroom Aid.
