During the training, you'll be instructed on the following:

• How to prepare your quilt
  
• Preparing the machine
  
• Loading your quilt
  
• Utilizing the Gammill Statler Stitcher CAD system
  
• Operating the Gammill Classic Stitch Regulated machine with manual control
  
• Unloading your quilt
  
• Tips, tricks, and valuable recommendations

This time is an estimate, and may fluctuate slightly based on learning styles or quantity of students.

In the event of winter weather affecting class schedules, we prioritize the safety of our students and staff. If there are any changes or cancellations due to inclement weather, we will notify you promptly. By 6 am on the affected day, an email will be sent to all registered students containing important updates.

Additionally, we will post announcements on our official website and social media pages to keep you informed. Please ensure that you check your email, visit our website, and follow our social media channels for the latest information during adverse weather conditions.

It's important to note that we generally follow the Kansas City, Missouri Public Schools closing decisions. Your safety is our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation in staying updated with any schedule changes caused by winter weather.
