Hello Friends!
We have waited as long as we could in hopes that STITCHES SoCal could happen safely; however, it is clear that we cannot proceed. Travel uncertainty and safety concerns remain an issue. Above all else, the health and safety of our students, market attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, instructors, and staff are our highest priority.
We have decided to cancel STITCHES SoCal. Please know that this decision was difficult. We apologize to everyone who was looking forward to this event. We long for the days when we can gather in person once again, but until then we continue to work on new and exciting ways for people all over the country—and the world—to have a STITCHES experience.
We have notified the exhibitors and our suppliers for this show.
We launched our first STITCHES at Home, a virtual retreat, in September and are hosting a second now. Soon we’ll announce STITCHES Expo at home, a new virtual class track and STITCHES Market experience scheduled for the same dates as STITCHES SoCal (November 6-8, 2020). Please look for an announcement about STITCHES Expo at home in the coming weeks.
Thank you again for your patience, support, and trust, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
All my best.

At what time will registration information be available to peruse for the Stitches Expo for November 6-8?
A friend told me it comes out tomorrow, but I can’t find anything on these pages that tell me specifics.
Thank you.
Hi Sarah… Unfortunately, as we’re dealing with this new system, we are still working out some technical problems. One of those problems is that we are trying to make our store (containing the classes) available to see but not shop. We haven’t worked that out yet… but we are working on it. So the classes will be available to see and sign up for at the same time. That will be 11:00 am tomorrow (Oct 15, 2020). We have some basic information on the main page of the site. But we won’t have anything up until the time we open registrations. Thank you for your comment.
Will this be 11 am Pacific time ( or another time zone)? Thanks!
Hi Stacey… All referenced times are Central Time. Right now we’re in CDT. By the time the November show starts, we’ll be in CST. Thank you for asking.
will the classes be streamed on zoom and will we have the ability to see them on video?
Hi Myra… The classes will be streamed live via Zoom. They will not be recorded. Thank you for asking.
