FAQs

What's included in the ticket price?

The ticket includes access to the sewing room during the retreat (Thurs 2pm-Sun 6pm, the sewing room closes from 2am-6am each morning) and participation in all activies other than workshops (those are paid separately to the instructor).  It does not include meals, but coffee, tea, and light snacks will be provided for breakfast. It does not include your hotel which MUST be booked through our room block.

Do MQG members get a discount?

Only members of the 6 sponsoring guilds (Central Jersey, Philadelphia, North Jersey, DC, Lancaster and Baltimore) who register during the early-registration will receive a discount.  Your MQG officers can provide you with the discount code. 

The retreat is already full!  Do you have a wait list?

Yes, please register for the wait list and you will be contacted should a spot open up. Waitlist is taken in order, so be sure to sign up right away. (NOTE: The waitlilst does not open during the early registration, only after general registration is full).

How do I book my hotel room?

After your registration is complete you will get a confirmation email with details of how to book your hotel room.  You will be required to submit your reservation number or the name of your roommate to us. You must book through the hotel in our room block and NOT through a third party like Expedia etc.

What happens if I don't book a hotel room?

Unless you purchase one of the limited local passes ($50 supplemental fee IN ADDITION to the regular ticket), you will forfeit your retreat ticket without a refund.

Is my registration/ticket transferrable?

Not by you personally, but the organizers will attempt to transfer to the next person on the waitlist if you need to cancel. There is a fee of $45 to transfer a registration which will not be refunded.

Can I update my registration information?

Yes, you may change your contact information at a later date.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

Nope, no ticket required.  You will be given a pdf ticket you can print and bring if you'd like, but it's not required.

What is the refund policy?

Refunds are only made (less a $45 fee) if we are able to find a replacement for you spot.  You may NOT transfer your registration yourself to someone else. If you are a part of guild block, the person replacing you may not be from your guild.

The name on the registration/ticket doesn't match the attendee. Is that okay?

NO, if you need to tranfer to another person, you must allow us to do so and incur the $45 fee.

I have a friend or family member who's not registered but wants to come along for some or all of the time. Is that OK? They will only use my space so it shouldn't bother anyone. 

NO. Only registered attendees are admitted into the ballroom for more than a brief visit. You cannot share your table/space with someone else. They cannot use your space when you are elsewhere. You cannot have non-sewing friends or family in the room for more than a quick hello. Mid-atlantic MOD is a highly social event, and we love that you want to socialize with quilters and others, but attendance is specifically limited to ensure optimum workspace and your table/area is for you and you alone. If you don't adhere to this policy, you may be asked to leave the event.

What about workshops? How do I find out about those and sign up?

This year, registration for workshops will be spearate from retreat registration. After general registration, attendees will receive an email with information on how/when to register. The class descriptions will be on our website. If you don't receive emails from our mailing list, please let us know and we will try to help you work out the issue.

I'm not sure about workshops.  Can I sign up now and decide I don't want to take it later?

No.  By signing up you are commiting to taking the workshop.  You will be required to pay the $15 fee in cash when you sign in to the retreat.  Failure to do so will cause you to lose your spot at MOD.  You will not be permitted to enter the retreat until your workshops are paid so please bring cash with you to the sign-in desk.  The reason for this is that the teachers must prepare materials etc. for class and need to know the number of students in advance.

I didn't sign up for any workshops but I might be interested when I get there.  Is it possible to sign up during the course of the weekend?

Yes, but only if there is space.  Only a limited number of students can fit in the classroom.  Many of the classes were full last year and you'll only be able to sign up for those with open spots.

How many workshops can I take? Is the schedule I signed up for guaranteed?

We did not put a limit on the number of workshops you can sign up for.  There are a limited number of spots in each class and they are first-come, first-served.    Classes may be cancelled due to lack of interest, so, no, your schedule isn't guaranteed.
