Classes
One of the great benefits of membership in SCVQA is the opportunity to take classes from top quilters in the industry. Most guest speakers teach a class while they are visiting us.
Class participation is limited to SCVQA members, unless the classes are not filled. However, classes are usually full.
Registration opens at the guild meeting two months prior to the class. Registration is accepted at general meetings, at board meetings, by mail and by email. A registration form can be found in the newsletter. Note that your place in the class is confirmed only after your payment is received.
To register by email, please send your name, phone number, specify which class you wish to take, to and confirm that you are mailing payment.

What to bring with you
(in addition to items listed for specific classes)
- If you are bringing a sewing machine, you may also need the use of an iron. There will be one iron/board available for the group, consider bringing your own.

- You may also want to bring ziplock bags for taking your project or its pieces home.
- The chairs can be a little hard to sit in for hours of sewing. Consider bringing a pad to sit on the chair either to adjust the height or for your comfort.
- Bring a light for your work area.
- Instruction begins at the listed start time. If you would like to be set up before instruction begins, please arrive a few minutes early.
