Registration Policy for VMQG Workshops and Sew-Ins

Please contact our Workshop Coordinators, Arita and Marnie, at workshops@vancouvermodernquiltguild.ca to register or ask questions. You must pay when you sign up. If you are unable to pay at the meeting, you can put your name on the waitlist and we’ll move you to the sign up list once we’ve received your payment.

(Putting your name on the wait list does not hold your spot. The only way to reserve your spot is by paying for your place. Don’t have cash? That’s cool! We take credit cards at meetings, and you can use Paypal any time!)

Sew-in and workshop fees are non-refundable. If you are unable to attend, you can transfer your spot to someone else. If there is a waitlist, your place will offered to the waitlist in the order listed. If there is no waitlist, you are welcome to find someone to take your place.

Each person on the waitlist has 24hrs to respond before the space is offered to the person below them. When you sign up for the waitlist, please provide both a phone number and an email address, so that we can contact you quickly. You will need to pay the registration fee when you are transferred from the wait list to the sign up list.

A few specifics:
– Workshops will be announced two months prior to the workshop, at a minimum.
– Our all day sew-ins have limited space, so spaces are reserved for members the same way that they are reserved for workshops.
– Spaces in workshops and all day sew-ins are reserved for members up until the end of the meeting in the month prior to the event date (for example, if the workshop is in November, spaces are reserved until 9pm on the night of our October meeting). Non-members can put their name on the wait list, but their space will not be confirmed until after this date.
– Evening sew-ins are open to members and non-members alike, because more space is available.
– Please do not bring a friend to a sew-in without checking in with the sew-in coordinator first. If there is space, they are welcome to pay the sew-in fee and join us, but there may not be space for them.
