2. No food or beverage in meeting room until stitching is safely put away.
3. Kindly address your questions to the teacher and not to your fellow stitchers. There are no dumb questions.
4. Do not talk or whisper while your teacher is giving instructions; give her or him your full attention.

6. Ask permission prior to photographing any of the teacher's samples or finished pieces.
7. Do not make unnecessary noise while business meeting is being conducted (i.e. pounding in tacks, talking, etc.).
