CLASSES are self-supporting. The cost to the student is determined by dividing the total cost including the instructor’s fee, space rental, travel expenses, etc., by the number of students enrolled. Since each class has different variables, the cost of each class is different. For planning purposes and to keep the costs at a reasonable rate, classes are published well in advance.
CLASS POLICIES:
Class enrollment is open when details have been announced to the FIQ membership. Enrollment is usually limited to 20 students. Half of the spaces are available to the SUNS and the other half available to the STARS. A wait list is established if all seats are filled. Empty seats created by dropouts will be filled from the wait list. A seat is not considered filled until full payment is received. Members on the wait list are not required to pay for the class until they are assured of attending the class. Non-members may fill vacancies only after all FIQ members have had the opportunity to fill openings. Payment for classes is expected at the time of enrollment. If the cost of a class exceeds $75, a non-refundable deposit of $50 must accompany registration, with the balance due one month before the class. If you cannot attend a class you have paid for, CALL or E-MAIL to Programs Chair promptly to see if a wait list member can fill your spot.
Detailed information, including a supply list, will be provided to enrolled students before the class date. Please read ALL directions before attending class. If you do not receive your list, contact the Programs Chair. Dates, times, locations, etc. of the classes will be in the Event Calendar on the web site, in the newsletter, announced at the meetings and indicated on the supply list. Generally, our classes are held in the same location as your general meetings. Please allow yourself enough time to set up your supplies and equipment before class begins. You can pack a lunch and bring any beverage you want with you. No food service will be given.
Bring all sewing, cutting and layout supplies with you. This includes a mini iron, ironing pad, cutting mat, rotary cutter, rulers and all supplies that you nee to have at hand. You will also need a heavy duty three prong extension cord for your set up.
