Bonus – New Reusable Shopping Bag!
We have a newly designed, chic, resusable shopping bag! Each Value Package includes this FREE bag. Our new shopping bag is the perfect size for all your Expo purchases. It measures 20"x16", slightly larger than our previous bag, with an over-the-shoulder handle. In an effort to provide better quality, more durable bags, we offer these popular reusable bags at the Expo. (You will receive a ticket in your packet to redeem your FREE bag at the Expo).

Class materials fees – It’s more than what’s in the bag . . .

When your class includes a Materials Fee, you’re getting a lot for your money. This year, Original Sewing & Quilt Expo classrooms will use more than 4,800 spools of thread, 7,500 yards of fabric and enough batting to cover four football fields. Talk about a supply list! In addition, more than $4,000,000 in sewing machines, sergers and notions are made available for your hands-on Studio classroom experience. You don’t have to carry a lot of supplies from home, and you get to experience the latest tools and machines.

Class Sessions
All classes count as one session except when otherwise noted in the description. A multiple-session class might be longer, or more rare in terms of educational content, or it might require extraordinary preparation to bring it to you. When you see a class session that includes an “X” (like C40X), check your schedule and tickets carefully for starting and ending times, as these are extended sessions.

Cancellation Policy: Tickets to Original Sewing & Quilt Expo are sold on the same basis as those for cultural performances, football games and other one-time events. Mark your calendar carefully since all admission and class tickets are non-refundable. Please send someone in your place if you are unable to attend the Expo.
