Payments
All classes must be paid in full at time of booking. Your place on the course is not guaranteed until payment is made.
Refunds: 100% refunds are given for cancellations made by me. If you cancel for any reason, I refund 95%, retaining 5% to cover the fees I am charged by my payment provider. No refunds are given for non-attendance, although an alternative date may be offered if this is possible.
Attending Classes
Classes begin on time as far as possible. Studio doors open 15 minutes before class to allow you to make yourself at home, set up your station and make that essential cuppa. At the end of the class, you will be asked to start to tidy up 5 to 10 minutes before the end, and I will ask you to leave promptly.
Parking is available right outside my studio. Please be aware of other traffic in the estate (lorries and forklifts especially) as you drive in and out, and park with consideration.
Forthview has disabled facilities, should they be needed.
Skill Levels Required
Please ensure you read the class description carefully as to the skill level required, prior to booking. Please call me if you’re unsure if the class you wish to attend is right for you, and we can discuss it before you book. No basic sewing instruction is offered in any class except beginners sessions.
Safety in Class
Please dress sensibly for class, avoiding things like frilly, overlong sleeves or dangling ribbons.
Hair should preferably be tied back if it is very long. Shoes need to be worn at all times, as I cannot guarantee a pin-free carpet.
Some equipment is hazardous and you take personal responsibility for your own safety in my studio.
You are asked to ensure dropped pins and needles are picked up immediately, and that shared equipment like irons and overlockers are switched off after use.
Damage to studio equipment will need to be paid for.
