Greetings!

Even if you have already registered PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS!

We are getting a number of new inquiries wanting to know more details about SS Days 2012, so hopefully this will help.

This will be our 7th year for Statler Stitcher Days here at A Touch of Thread. The key to the success of SS Days is for us to do our best to ensure that everyone gets all that is possible out of SS Days. This means offering great teachers, a comfortable class room where everyone can see and hear well and of course food, drinks, and snacks. To that end we will use the Muskingum County Visitors Center again this year. The Convention Center is about 2 miles from the store, it is easy to find and has plenty of parking. This is a great space with plenty of room. You will be able to see and hear everything. We have great audio/video equipment set up to use.  Anita, Joan, and TJ will be working together throughout the event.  They will be giving basic CS classes on Friday for those that need or want that. This will be geared to those that are newer but have a basic understanding of Creative Studio. Please email me directly at doug@atouchofthread.net  if you plan to take this class so we can plan accordingly.  During the same time on Friday, we will have advanced classes for those who have been with us before or have more experience with the Statler. Anita, Joan, and TJ will be teaching separately and in combination on Saturday and Sunday. I will also be teaching this year. Saturday afternoon we will have a very informative class dealing with the maintenance issues I see most common. Bobbin winders, Check Springs, Anti-backlash Springs, Tension issues, and more. One of the most important things I feel I can teach you is to be able to recognize what things look like when they are right, like the Hook/Needle Timing, so we don't cause other problems by making unnecessary adjustments . This will help us to quickly go through the machine and find the actual problem.

You will have the opportunity to submit written questions that we will try to answer after my class Saturday afternoon.  These could be Creative Studio or hardware questions. I am mentioning this now to give you a chance to think of your questions ahead of time and write them down. I can never think of a single question when asked on the spot, but sure can come up with them when I don't have anyone available to help!

In the mornings we will have an assortment of breakfast pastries, donuts, coffee, and drinks.  Lunch will be catered Ditty's Deli here in town Friday and Saturday and Sunday. If some of you would like to get together for dinner Saturday let me know, there are several places we could go, even on short notice.

Your registration fee is $200.00 and $100.00 for Non-Statler user guest, plus 7% state sales tax unless you are tax exempt. This covers everything except your evening meals, and lodging. We will do all we can to ensure you will have all you need to get the most out of your time and expenses.

If you decide to register, or have registered, I will need you to send in the full amount as soon as possible after you register online. Please don't wait to pay!  As in the past we limit attendance to 100 participants. Payment is the only sure way to save your registration and your seat.   We can take check or Credit Card for payment. Once you have registered online you can send in your check payable to A Touch of Thread at A Touch of Thread 2885 East Pike Zanesville, Ohio 43701, or call with your cc info. 1-800-760-7701, ask for Joan, regarding Statler Stitcher Days. 

 we will have an open house/meet the teachers at the store Thursday evening 6:00 to 9:00. Time to renew friendships and make new lifelong friends. We will have refreshments and the chance to get your registration kits. You can actually come in anytime after 12:00 on Thursday to complete your registration. We will be at the Visitors center early Friday morning to finish registrations.

I have a big favor to ask of everyone, could I get you to take a few seconds and email me (subject line "contact update") with your contact information, address, phone number so forth.  We also need a copy of your vendor's license if you are tax exempt, you can bring that with you in May. We need to update our files this year.

On the invitations that were sent out is information regarding the hotels with discounted rates for us. When you call to make your reservations, you will have to mention "A Touch of Thread" to get your Discount. Saying you are coming for Statler Stitcher Days will not work for some reason.
