A Very Sensible Registration Policy

Please read our registration policy before signing up for any activity or session at Hasting Sewing Studio.  When registering you're agreeing to our policies, we promise they are reasonable and are always happy to answer any questions.

Acknowledgment of Risk

All registered students acknowledge that the craft of sewing includes the use of tools like machines, needles, scissors, and more. While safety is our priority (and is taught in all foundations and beginner classes and workshops), the use of these tools include risks that can cause or lead to injury. By registering students, parents and/or guardians grant permission for the students to operate machines and to use sewing and related tools and equipment. Parents and guardians also give permission for basic first aid treatment to be given if needed.

Behavior

Due to the nature of the work we do and the tools we use, we have items that can be dangerous if not handled properly or if students behave irresponsibly. Tools and other items include (but are not limited to) sewing machines, scissors, sharp needles, iron, rotary cutters, and more. We expect students (of all ages) to behave in a way that demonstrates respect for the craft and age-appropriate maturity. Any student behaving in ways deemed unsafe will be held accountable and his/her parents contacted immediately.

Registration/Cancellation

Fees are non refundable and non transferable. If we have to postpone a session, we will notify you and offer you a makeup session or a gift certificate. Please note: when you sign up for a class, workshop, or camp, you're registering on that date or specified sessions only, with no exceptions.

Attendance  

Being on time and attending all classes is important for your sewing success. there are no makeups for missed sessions, and we can't guarantee that you'll be able to complete the scheduled project on your own. We always do our best to catch you up, but only during the session you originally enrolled in.

Supplies

All of the supplies required for a class that are not available in our shop are emailed to you upon enrollment or communicated during the first lesson. Please email us if you have any questions, we will do the same in the event of any changes.

Inclement Weather

Hasting Sewing Studio follows the Hastings-on-Hudson public school inclement weather policy. If the public schools are closed due to inclement weather then the studio will be closed and makeup dates will be announced via email.

Privacy

When you join our email list your information will not be distributed or sold to anyone, for any reason.
