PURCHASE DAMAGES AND ISSUES

Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged, or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right. Please contact us within 14 days of delivery if there is any issue with your purchase.

COMMUNITY RULES AND GUIDELINES

Sewing has the power to connect us with others we might not meet otherwise, and at Workroom Social we develop opportunities for our students to build relationships that go far beyond sewing itself. Workroom Social creates spaces for students to interact with each other, and these rules and guidelines apply to these spaces. We refer to these spaces as community spaces. Community spaces include all in-person events and activities. Community spaces also include all digital spaces created by and/or managed by Workroom Social including—but not limited to—workroomsocial.com, instagram.com/workroomsocial, facebook.com/workroomsocial/, youtube.com/workroomsocial, https://discord.gg/DDTFnvxQV9, Zoom meetings and webinars, and online community groups on Thinkific, Facebook, and Discord.

We recognize that our hobbies are only one aspect of our complicated lives, and the time we spend together sewing does not erase difficulties we face or hardships we're experiencing.

Please use Workroom Social community spaces to enhance the Workroom Social experience, for yourself and for our maker community: connect with others, ask for help, share your achievements, lift up others, and support others requesting assistance.

Please read our complete rules and guidelines. It’s important to create a space in which you feel included, comfortable, and safe, and to do this we all must abide by these rules. We take violations of these rules seriously, and upon violation, we will mute, remove, or take other actions to protect the community at our discretion.
